Of course you could easily look up all the answers to these, but it would be more fun if you answered from your own knowledge. BCS Championship games count as bowls for these.

1. Which seven current SEC schools have played LSU in a bowl game?

2. From which state (with a minimum of 2 current FBS schools) has every current FBS member school played LSU in a bowl game?

3. Since the 1971 season, one school has beaten LSU in a bowl game without scoring at least 20 points, and that school has done it twice. Which school is it?

4. Which LSU bowl games have been rematches of a regular season game?

5. What are the fewest and most points scored by both teams combined in an LSU bowl game?

6. In which five of its bowl games has LSU recorded a safety?

7. What are LSU's widest margins of victory and defeat in a bowl game?

8. What was LSU's first appearance in a bowl that was not one of the traditional "major" bowls (Cotton, Orange, Sugar, Rose)?

9. What is the only state in which LSU has played at least one bowl game, but never won one?

10. Which current NY6 bowl's inaugural game was won by LSU?

1. Mississippi, Arkansas, A&M, Bama, Tennessee, Mizzou, and South Carolina.

ETA b4 "you looked it up"
I have about 3 books on LSU history that I read before every football season.

3. It's gotta be Penn State. I don't remember the first time, but I know they beat us 19-17 in 2010.

I don't doubt you one bit. I practically had Pete Finney's "The Fighting Tigers" memorized when I was still in grade school.

I'm also gonna go with Texas on this one.

I dont know if we played Baylor, but I know we played A&M, Texas, TCU, and Texas Tech.

I don't know any other states where we've played all the teams.

And that's all I got. I can't remember any of the other ones.

It's not Texas. We haven't played Rice, UTEP, Houston, Texas-San Antonio, et al in bowl games.

South Carolina? They've played against both South Carolina and Clemson in bowl games, but not sure if there are other FBS schools in the state.

Without looking, it was Bert Jones losing to Cappelletti. Something like 16-9. I read the book something for Joey multiple times when I was a kid.

I'm guessing Tennessee is #9. Lost Liberty and Music city bowls at least once. Can't remember winning either of the two.

#5: Fewest points total-0, by LSU and Arkansas in a Cotton Bowl, back in prehistoric times years before I was born

Most points total-I think 80 (can't remember the final score, it was something like 47-33 LSU beat Illinois in the 2002 Sugar.
