LSU Football Schedule: Who do the Tigers miss from the SEC slate?
LSU has to play Florida every year from the East. If you’re going to catch the Gators on the road, you might as well do it when things are rebuilding a bit in the start of the Billy Napier era.
New Tiger head coach Brian Kelly gets to deal with the Tennessee offense the week before heading over to Gainesville. On the down side, there’s no Vanderbilt from the East, and there’s no Kentucky, Missouri, or South Carolina.

There’s a shot LSU will be favored in every game but the date with Alabama up until the finale against Texas A&M.
That’s probably overstating it depending on how long it takes to turn things around, but considering the opener against Florida State is in New Orleans – Death Valley East – five of the first six and seven of the first nine games will be in front of the home crowd.
Florida State, though, won’t be a layup, and UAB will be feisty in late November, but Southern and New Mexico are non-conference wins, and getting Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Mississippi State at home is great.
Not that the pressure on Kelly isn’t already through the roof, but it’s more than reasonable to ask for LSU to go into November with SEC title dreams still intact.
