If the goal is to make the playoffs, schedule light!

You are correct, but there is no way for LSU not to schedule Florida and Alabama.

And you have to have one decent out of conference game.

Doesnt matter when you cant beat the teams you are required to play

The only reason we are a 2-loss team ranked above undefeated and 1-loss teams is because of our strength of schedule.

Hate to disappoint, but both our losses are SEC, and we are the highest ranked two loss team because of our strength of schedule.

A two loss Alabama wouldn’t even play in a New Years Bowl due to their weaker schedule.

So we have to schedule teams worse than Troy every year?

LSU has elected to make more money as opposed to give themselves an easier path to a championship. Bringing in higher level opponents and neutral site matchups make the program more money than the Southeastern/ULL matchups of the world.

I think what the OP is saying is that we need to keep our OOC games easy to keep the starters from playing so much and beating down our team. If we keep our starters as fresh as possible we have a better shot to be more dominant during the rough SEC stretch.
I couldn’t agree more.
Apparently as long as you look good doing it, it doesn’t matter what kind of shite schedule you come up with.
