Will LSU be forced to have the same opponent from a big non SEC conference every year, such as UF/FSU and UGA/GT?

Were not forced to play the same out of conference team every year. Like mentioned this is for Bama.
We've played UNC, Oregon, Washington, TCU, now Wisconsin.
UCLA, Syracuse, etc in the future

With Tulane getting that nice new stadium, maybe LSU can get them pushed into the big 12 and have an easy big conference blow out every year

We've been doing this for while now.
Florida, Alabama every year......
This should be for Alabama. They have one game to be concerned about every year. They rarely play UF, think the last time was in 2010, hardly play UGA (they were supposed to play them last season but "magically" we got UGA and they had to play the juggernaut that is Kentucky instead). They hardly play USCe, also think the last time they faced them was in 2010 (who they lost to).
They cling to this argument that their "rival" is Tennessee, so they have to play them that third weekend in October.
ETA: Read it a little too fast, thought you were referring to in conference opponents but I agree with the poster who said this:
I think we've got our OOC tough opponents covered. Bama, on the other hand, not so much.
Viginia Tech twice, UWV this season in the opener, put them up against OU (who is on our schedule somewhere), tOSU, etc.
Starting in 2016, it will be mandated that an OOC team from the PAC-12, Big 12, Big Ten, or the ACC be scheduled. Let me guess who the opponent they'll choose will be.... I'm sure it'll be a powerhouse. Wash. St, Iowa State, Penn State (again), and take your pick of the ACC. It won't be FSU.

Tennessee has had way more successful seasons than bad ones
Posted on 4/27/14 at 11:35 pm to kjntgr
Wish they would've voted for 9 games. I don't mind LSU playing Florida every year and it would be nice to visit Athens more often.

OP, go bring this over to the SEC rant to see what Bama guys say about it. I bet it gets incredibly fun
Posted on 4/27/14 at 11:39 pm to geauxnavybeatbama
Agreed. Wish we would get rid of this Texas shite though. Would be excellent for tix holders to get a extra game that means something

No. If they had, no one would be complaining.

True however the caliber of opponents aren't the same. That's why everyone is complaining.
You've gotten the home and home done (and I'm aware that they weren't officially home and home but you faced them twice) with Penn State and VT.

In the last decade, Tenn. is winning 38% of their SEC games and in the last 5 yrs they are winning 28% of their SEC games.
The 2 worse teams in the SEC in the last 5 yrs has been Tenn. and Kent. I'm trying to remember which west team the SEC office put on their schedules last yr...it will come to me.

Penn State? VT? Crap, they almost had a losing season a couple years ago with Logan Thomas. But they've got those teams out of the way so eventually, one would think, they'd have to play someone "of weight."
Play the Duke's, Clemson's, Kansas's, it's a gimmie game is my point.
or
Play Oregon, play the defending Rose Bowl champs. Play Stanford. Play tOSU. Play OSU. Play OU. Play Utah again, see how that goes. Who knows who would win but it wouldn't be a game where Bama could just walk in and take it. (maybe the Utah game though)

I don't think it's as easy as you think to get Ohio state to play LSU or Bama
