We are always going to have more success on odd years due to our SEC schedule. Florida, aTm, Arkansas, Auburn at home, @ Alabama (where we play better for some reason), and the Mississippi schools have not been good for awhile making those road games much easier to win

This is the answer. Since Saban arrived in 2000, LSU made it to the SECCG 6 out of 10 odd-years (5 out of 6 from 2000-2011), but has never appeared in a SECCG in an even-year.
