Why dont you list ranked schools USC & LSU play each year (conf AND OOC) and lets see which plays the most ranked teams. I think you will see USC s overall schedule is MUCH the weaker.Also add to that a conf. champ game

We played Virginia Tech last year. Nobody complained about that. It's THIS year that sucks. This year, we will not have played more ranked teams than anyone else when the season is over.
Ah, we don't know that yet. Florida, UGA and Auburn will probably all be in the top 10 when we play them and maybe even one of them could be #1. Alabama may even be in the top 15. That would put four and then if we make it to the SEC Championship there could be a top 15 Tennessee team to play.

Why do these people keep justifying that we need to schedule tough OOC games? We automatically get one extra ranked team to play if we make it to the SECCG. We constantly play ranked teams in our conference. Look at 2007 for example, we played more ranked teams IN OUR CONFERENCE than USC played total ranked teams. We obviously play more ranked teams then the MYTHICAL BEST MOST TALENTED BEST RECRUITED STACKED NOT AFRAID OF ANYONE MEDIA FAVORITE THREEPEAT CHAMPION USC

they have to do that to try to generate interest.
LSU would lose too much money if they did this sort of thing.

After 2003 didn't we already try and get USC with a home and home and they would not bite? I believe it's been reported that they wanted one game at their home turf and was not interested in coming to Death Valley so it was a no go.

schedule a home & home 5 year deal. Playing fricking Tulane, Troy and other (except Appy State) cream puffs. If you are a major college football program then I say play the best there is (or who claim to be) and settle it on the field
Bust up in Les Miles' office like a tough guy and tell him. That's the way to get it done. See what he says.

Tulane deal is a full 2.85 one year (no payout to them) and a 1.8 payment from the year in New Orleans (selling 40k at 45 each) so that is 4.65 over a two year cycle. Making LSU more money than they would by having an extra troy game.
Its a great deal all around.
I agree. Tulane is LSU's traditional rival and they are in-state. If you're living in Louisiana you are more likely to know and run into Tulane alumni and fans than Alabama or Auburn fans. Tulane has an attitude problem and it's cool to put them in their place in football among other things academic and athletic.

It's not like USC has any interest or a national fan base or anything

They don't where I come from pal. And I'd say you can thank the media for any interstate interest that does exist.

Rodman: Here are some facts to ponder before you start poking fun at Washington:
From 1989 thru 2007, they had a grand total of 4 losing seasons. None of them prior to this decade. They had 8 seasons with 8 or more wins, including a NC in 1991.
During that same time frame, LSU had 8 losing seasons - double the # of Washington. And, LSU had exactly TWO seasons during that time frame with 8 or more wins until this decade. Obviously, LSU is currently the stronger program. But if you know anything about the history of college football, you know that Washington has had more success both at the conference as well as the national level over the years. And, they will be back. Taking for granted a "W" next year in Seattle would be a huge mistake.

If you think your the best then take em' on. One of the best games I ever saw in Tiger Stadum was the 79 LSU/USC game.
You DO understand that BOTH schools have to agree to the game...right? If only one wants to play there is not much they can do if the other school JUST DOES NOT WANT TO PLAY...for whatever reason..
Verge can't just snap his fingers and make matchups happen if the other schools don't want to play.
How many times has this been discussed now?
Tiiiiiiiiiiiime to MOVE ON!
