The SEC released its 2013 schedule today, meaning LSU's underclassmen will have to hide their eyes while focusing on winning this year's national championship. Next year's gauntlet isn't nearly as difficult as the Tiger's infamous 2011 schedule, but still looks to stack up against any major college football program for degree of difficulty.

 

 

The Bayou Bengals open the season against the surprisingly scrappy TCU Horned Frogs in the Cowboy Classic, which is held in Cowboys Stadium outside Dallas. Then, they will promptly reprise this year's run of cupcakes with Kent State and Furman.

 

 

The Alabama Crimson Tide makes off with a mediocre schedule, with a slate that mostly features SEC outcasts. Keeping with the tradition of the last few seasons, LSU has a bye week before the always-stressful 'Bama match-up. Then they get another week off after the Tuscaloosa tangle. While we still have this year's LSU-Alabama match-up to fear/look forward to, we can already begin to look ahead to next year's November 9 chance to Beat Bama.
