Warm-up game prior to FSU: Positive impact to LSU at this stage of season?

Football and life are not linear things (as in, more is not necessarily more).
However, observing how BK and coaching staff have led the team's improvements as the season has unfolded this season has me thinking more may just have been more this 1st season under Coach BK.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda warning...
Curious how a warm up game might have impacted BK's coaching of QB and team. It is reasonable to think:
LSU beats FSU? I say likely and special teams journey to at least average starts sooner
LSU beats Tenn? I say unlikely. Tenn O just too good.
LSU increased readiness for Bama? I say likely
On flip side, as football/life just aint linear:
Risk of injuries (miss you, M. Smith!)
The adversity of Tenn may not have meant as much without FSU loss (and team only meetings not as effective)
Who knows...just reflecting...seems like more to gain with warm up game than not.

You can’t just up and schedule a week 0 game, Jesus Christ this is a tired topic

Over the past 2 years only 12/32 teams that have played a week 0 game have won the following week. A week 0 game has almost no impact on the following week of play. Plus you can't just schedule one out of the blue.

You sure as motherfLuck can up and include a clause in the motherfLucking contract that this game will be the first for both teams. How many times does Verge need his arse torched by this before he learns? I would bet my next paycheck BK puts a stop to this shite with any future "kickoff" games.

I wish we would schedule a week 0 game before Clemson in 2025 just to put an end to these threads
Think Sam Houston St & Utah State are still available to schedule for Hawaii rule

Maybe we only have 3 non-conference opponents scheduled for 2025 bc we expect 9 SEC games once OU/UT join.
