Three of the LSU Tigers first four 2012 SEC games come on the road, including a trip to College Station to play new guys Texas A&M. If the Bengals can make it through that stretch, they'll have three straight division home dates. One of those will be a rematch of the national championship game against Alabama, which is of course itself a rematch. This can go on forever.

Out-of-conference games aren't yet included, so it's not simple to determine where bye weeks lie, but with that late of a SEC opener, expect LSU to have a pretty-looking record entering conference play.
