Do you guys think we should change this moving forward? Doesn’t seem to make sense for us or Bama to waste a bye week in this spot. Give us the week off before a game we actually have a chance to be competitive. And for Bama, the LSU offense is one of the easiest on their schedule to scheme against so their bye week could be better utilized elsewhere.

As long as we're stuck with this passive, Les Miles type of PHILOSOPHY on offense, the bye week really makes no difference.

Bama always looks so good against us because of the bye, not in spite of it. It may not seem like it, but Saban knows that LSU is one of the few legitimate threats they face every year. Saban is not stupid.

As long as Bama continues to schedule their bye before the LSU matchup, we should as well.

I think one of many reasons why our offense struggles against Bama compared to other teams is that they have the bye before us. Giving Saban 2 weeks to gameplan against our offense is a HUGE disadvantage for us. I think it would benefit and help our chances much more against Bama if neither team had a bye before.

I’d love for us to mix it up. No bye week and a 2:30 cbs game instead of 7

Ive been hoping we can find a way to move the auburn game back (hoping that them moving the UGA game UP will help that) and then we take the bye week before Auburn rather than Bama....I don't care when Bama takes theirs. The two week buildup for the team, fans and media definitely has not helped LSU
