Of course you could easily look up all the answers to these, but it would be more fun if you answered from your own knowledge. BCS Championship games count as bowls for these.

1. Which seven current SEC schools have played LSU in a bowl game?

2. From which state (with a minimum of 2 current FBS schools) has every current FBS member school played LSU in a bowl game?

3. Since the 1971 season, one school has beaten LSU in a bowl game without scoring at least 20 points, and that school has done it twice. Which school is it?

4. Which LSU bowl games have been rematches of a regular season game?

5. What are the fewest and most points scored by both teams combined in an LSU bowl game?

6. In which five of its bowl games has LSU recorded a safety?

7. What are LSU's widest margins of victory and defeat in a bowl game?

8. What was LSU's first appearance in a bowl that was not one of the traditional "major" bowls (Cotton, Orange, Sugar, Rose)?

9. What is the only state in which LSU has played at least one bowl game, but never won one?

10. Which current NY6 bowl's inaugural game was won by LSU?

1. Mississippi, Arkansas, A&M, Bama, Tennessee, Mizzou, and South Carolina.

ETA b4 "you looked it up"
I have about 3 books on LSU history that I read before every football season.

3. It's gotta be Penn State. I don't remember the first time, but I know they beat us 19-17 in 2010.

I'm also gonna go with Texas on this one.

I dont know if we played Baylor, but I know we played A&M, Texas, TCU, and Texas Tech.

I don't know any other states where we've played all the teams.

And that's all I got. I can't remember any of the other ones.

South Carolina? They've played against both South Carolina and Clemson in bowl games, but not sure if there are other FBS schools in the state.

I'm guessing Tennessee is #9. Lost Liberty and Music city bowls at least once. Can't remember winning either of the two.

#10 is the Peach/Chik-Fil-A. LSU beat F$U in the inaugural around 1968.

#5: Fewest points total-0, by LSU and Arkansas in a Cotton Bowl, back in prehistoric times years before I was born

Most points total-I think 80 (can't remember the final score, it was something like 47-33 LSU beat Illinois in the 2002 Sugar.

4. Which LSU bowl games have been rematches of a regular season game?


Ole Miss - Sugar Bowl - 1959 Season

Notre Dame - Indy Bowl - 1997 Season (had to look up year on this one)

Bama - BCS CG - 2011 Season

(ETA: Winner of regular season game lost the bowl game in all 3 of these, and 2 regular season games considered 2 of the greatest of all time.)

I have a feeling there are others.

2) Iowa.

LSU played Iowa twice in the Outback Bowl and Iowa State in the Sun Bowl.

3) I don't recall the scores but Penn State has beaten LSU twice in low scoring bowl games. One recent and the other in the Orange Bowl back in the early 70's

9) I'll guess Tennessee. LSU lost the Liberty Bowl to Baylor in 1985 and recently lost to Notre Dame in the Music City Bowl.

Out of what hasn't been answered

#9 has to be Tennessee. The Liberty Bowl has always been a disaster for LSU then they lost the 2014 Music City Bowl.

#6 is probably the toughest one because it's so obscure. At least I know they got a safety last season in the Citrus Bowl and LSU lost to TCU 3-2 in their first Sugar Bowl so that's two.

1. Ole Miss, Alabama, Arkansas, South Carolina, Missouri, Texas A&M, Tennessee
2. My guess is South Carolina
3. Nebraska? Iowa?
4. Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl in the late 50s, Alabama way too recently, Notre Dame in the 90s are the only ones I can recall.
5. Not a clue
6. Ditto
7. Ditto
8. Tangerine Bowl?
9. Tennessee?
10. Peach Bowl
