Calling it now - LSU's 2026 schedule is getting massively underrated in the preseason narratives. everybody points to Clemson as the marquee game but ignores that we drew Alabama, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M from the West plus Oklahoma and Auburn rotating in. That's five teams that finished top 25 in SP+ last season. Meanwhile Oregon's path to the CFP involves exactly two preseason top 25 opponents. The gap in schedule difficulty matters more than people want to admit.
