re: If we don’t get Oklahoma as permanent, who will we play at the end of the year every year?

It’s really no different than UGA-GT.
It's a lot different. Most notably because GT is in the ACC. While they may not be a great ACC program, they are still a power conf. program.
Tulane isn't, and the level of success they've recently experienced is an anomaly relative to their history. Sumrall has done a nice job of maintain what Fritz built, but that's not sustainable.
If LSU and Tulane want to play each other every few years, great. But to make Tulane LSU's end of season permanent rival is silly

What do you gain playing any of the other in state teams and cupcakes?

Tulane would be great. Isn't there a new rule that you have to play a P4 team going forward?
I personally hate the team playing in cold arse Fayetteville or Norman in November.

None of the other in state cupcakes field a team that can beat LSU.
Tulane has put a team on the field in recent years that could have done so recently. A loss to Tulane would be a disaster. There is ZERO gain from it.
And this is coming from someone who is 100% in favor of having them on the schedule every year. We need a proper annual rival where we are each others main rival.

OU and Mizzou are 100% going to be permanent rivals, just let them play at the end of the year
it gets tricky if OU plans to reignite Bedlam and play that at the end of the year, bc Arkansas-Mizzou will also be a rival (SEC trying to force it)
I think we don't get either OU or Arkansas as permanent and we just alternate between one or the other as the last game every year

LSU plays a FCS school every year. I’d rather play Tulane

We should not be stuck with 2 big 12 teams as permanent when we are a founding member of the sec
Well Arkansas isn’t a founding member of the SEC either so if we get them and A&M that would be 2 non-charter members we’d play every season
We have like 5 more interesting games every year than Arkansas so honestly playing a big brand like Oklahoma does more for us than a pretty forced rivalry with the boot

We'll play whoever is last on the schedule. But seriously.... does anyone have confidence in the "powers that be" to not frick this new scheduling up for everyone?

I didn’t think about this. What is the relationship and hate Mizz and Ark have?
Mizzoui and Arky can still be permanent rivals, but play early in the year.
LSU-Arky and Mizzoui-OU is the best solution for rivalry week.
However, assuming Ole Miss is also a permanent rival for LSU, this leaves room for only 1 more permanent opponent for LSU.
Could be A&M, Bama, Florida or even Auburn. I think it depends on who else has a slot left. LSU’s rivalries are not priority for the SEC.

So they arent permanent. Why even have them at all
Posted on 9/19/25 at 11:05 am to fastlane
We aren't going to end our season with a fricking nobody like Rice or ULL.
lol

I agree about someone other than ARKY that weekend, but I disagree about it being forced. LSU/TAMU was forced. Literally forced a game on Thanksgiving night one year in College Station. There couldn’t be less interest for a game that weekend than that nonsense.
That being said, give me LSU/OU. 2 teams that are usually good. It doesn’t have to be hatred to be games we want to watch.

Bama - AU, Tenner, not gonna want LSU as 3rd

its gonna be some combo out of Aggie, Arky, OU, Ole Miss, Miss St

"LSU has nothing to gain by playing Tulane every year."
Other than winning the game 11 out of 10 times you mean?
Look, its simple for me. Play Toolame in Tiger Stadium 3 out of 4 years with the fourth in the Dome or freeze our arse off in Norman every other year! Been there, done that. No thanks.
And Toolame thinks they can get into a P4 if they up grade their schedule. They will go for 3 to 1 in a heart beat...read their websites...they don't like it - they think they are still in the 1950's...but they will accept it.

I would like to see Tulane. We would play in the Superdome for their home games
Tulane doesn't want to play at the Dome. They built Yulman and they want to play on campus with a home field advantage in front of a Tulane crowd.
They could sell more tickets at the Dome but theres added costs that come with it. Plus against LSU, youre putting yourself in front of a road crowd. The LSU fans would dominate sales.
Tulane has had games that would have drawn the crowds to play in the dome but they've stuck to Yulman. They hosted Ole Miss whos fans surely would have traveled to New Orleans. They were supposed to host Oklahoma at Yulman in 2021 but that got relocated to Norman due to Hurricane.
On LSUs end, there's no incentive to playing in a 30,000 seat stadium where their fans are excluded.

I'm not sure thats true.
Its also not true that they would agree to just playing in the Dome for their home games. They build Yulman, they expect to play in it.
Best scenario I think they might agree to would be a every other year agreement like this:
TS / Dome / TS / Yulman / TS / Dome / TS / Yulman
I think that would work for all parties.

Let's play Tulane. Play 1 game in the Superdome for every 2 games in Tiger Stadium.
You do realize that Tulane would actually have to agree to that arrangement, don't you? They haven't in the past.
Regrettably, I think the Tulane bus has left the station. I'd like to renew the Arky game after Thanksgiving.

The only way this works is if LSU gets a really high percentage of the gate if it's at the Dome which I don't believe Tulane was willing to agree to in the past. And LSU won't agree to a multiyear commitment to play in Yulman.
