It has ALWAYS benefitted them when they've been anywhere near the title mix. SOS has never kept them out of anything; it has only given them a boost against their other top-rated peers.



When? 2003 maybe?

In 2007, the VaTech game/win basically got us in the title game.

In 2011, we had a pretty brutal OOC. I guess I can't argue that "benefitted" us, but it's certainly not what hurt us.

I actually sort of hope a crap OOC schedule bites us in the arse one day.

Yes. OU and LSU both had higher SOS than USC.

Oklahoma, USC, and Georgia all had two losses and lower SOS than LSU did.

Had LSU lost the SECCG, they would have had to be voted out of the top 4 by the polls to be shut out of the title game. That's how strong that schedule was.

It's not like LSU is playing a Baylor joke of a schedule.

They have played plenty of decent OOC games over the years.

2003-@Zona
2004-Oregon State
2005-ASU
2006-Zona
2007-VT
2008-No one
2009-@UW
2010-UNC, WVA
2011-Oregon, @ WVA
2012-UW
2013-TCU
2014-Wiconsin

And they have upcoming games against Wisconsin, Miami, Syracuse twice (if they count), Texas, UCLA, ASU,

Baylor hasn't played a P5 OOC game since like 2009 when they played Wake. Other than Wake and Washington State they haven't played any P5 OOC teams since 2003.

Although they played TCU a few times before they were in the Big XII.
