LSU has a massive following in the state of Texas. Our fans mingle with UT fans a lot. Yes road and home games against UT and OU would be great. More money means a better product. You’d rather see us play ULM and rice instead of blue bloods? Don’t be so scared if change. It opens the state up more for us to recruit as well. I see no good arguments to why not AS LONG as we still get our traditional SEC games. (Bama, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, State).
Where are you seeing that we would keep all of our traditional games and add Okla or Texas. I’m seeing the opposite.

In the proposed pod schedule, LSU would maintain its annual rivalries with Ole Miss, Miss St, and Texas A&M, while its games against Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, and Florida would be played every other year rather than annually. In addition, LSU would get to play every other SEC Team on a semi-annual basis as well.
So, LSU would lose half of its Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, and Florida games, but get more frequent games against Mizzou, Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt.
If they maintained the division format, eliminated cross division rivalries, and added a 9th game, LSU would likely trade annual games with Florida, Alabama, and Auburn for annual games with Mizzou, Texas, and Oklahoma. Games against East division opponents would be roughly once every 4 years.

The 4 team pod model puts every SEC team hosting all other members in a 4 year period. We’d play A&M and The Ms schools every single season in that model. We’d see more east teams. Wouldn’t get Alabama every single year but we’d still see them often.
