Solid in state non conference opponent that will be a win but make you have to work for it.


If you have to work for it you’re not where you want to be

I love the tech game placement this year. A good enough opponent where LSU can get productive reps and fix things they noticed during Clemson game before we play ole miss. An opponent we should win against but will still challenge us enough to where we have to play soundly. Perfect game before Ole Miss.

I would like to see us play a La. School each season, but only schools st our level. No FBS schools.

Tulane, Tech, Southwestern, and Louisiana-Monroe. A rotating deal would be fine where we’d play them all every four seasons.
I'm ok with that, and I'll add that the P4 requirement is dumb- as I recall, SEC teams have to play at least one P4 team OOC.

That shouldn't be a requirement, it should be that you have to play all D1 (FBS) teams on your schedule. Tulane has made the playoff, and has a better chance to do so again before someone like Rutgers, Kansas, or NC State does. We shouldn't be penalized for that.

Because it's awesome. In-state school. Likely win.

As a Tech and LSU grad, it's the best game.

Tulane only made it because they play in a weak conference. If Rutgers Kansas or NC State played Tulane’s schedule they’d be in the CFP too.

The G5 charity has to end. Why are we pretending JMU & Tulane both deserved to be in the CFP? It’s a joke. A 3 loss Sec or Big10 team definitely plays a more competitive game in the CFP than those two charity cases.

Boise state beat Oklahoma in a meaningless bowl game. Not a national title

The first round of the playoffs aren’t for a national title. Boise showed that those teams could, so now they all get a shot
