BREAKING: LSU’s full 2024 football schedule revealed

The Tigers learned their first slate of games as the SEC moves to 16 teams in 2024.

The SEC is entering a new era in 2024.

On Wednesday night, the league announced the full slate of games next fall, and for LSU, there’s certainly a lot to be excited about. The season is bookended by some key matchups as the Tigers play USC and UCLA in the first month of the season.

In November, the Tigers draw Alabama, Florida and Oklahoma.

Without further ado, here’s LSU’s full 2024 football schedule as [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] looks to take this program to the next level in Year 3.

Ranking the difficulty of LSU’s remaining games

Here’s how the rest of LSU’s schedule shakes out.

Five regular season games remain on LSU’s 2023 schedule.

It’s already been a roller coaster season in Baton Rouge. A prolific offense worthy of prime time has provided plenty of entertainment for Tiger fans, but a struggling defense got LSU off to a rocky 3-2 start.

But coming out of the win on Saturday, there’s optimism the defense is improving. LSU’s won two straight and sits at 4-1 in conference play.

“I’ll put this team up against any in the (SEC) right now,” [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] said after the Auburn game.

Kelly will have to wait to test that statement. It’ll be a few weeks before LSU gets back into conference play with Army and the bye week coming up.

Let’s break down LSU’s remaining schedule by ranking the difficulty of the games.

Your 2023 national champion LSU Tigers have released the schedule for next spring.

LSU will start the season on Feb. 16 at home against VMI. The Tigers start March with the Astros Foundation Classic where they will take on Texas, Louisiana and Texas State. Those three games will be played at Minute Maid Park in Houston.

LSU will start their conference slate with a trip to Mississippi State on March 15-17. The Bulldogs will be looking to improve after failing to make the SEC tournament last year. After that, LSU will have a rematch of the national championship against the Florida Gators at home from March 22-24. If you are looking for a series to catch at Alex Box Stadium, that would be one to go to.

LSU travels to Arkansas, hosts Vandy, travels to Tennessee, travels to Missouri, hosts Auburn, hosts Texas A&M, travels to Alabama, and will host Ole Miss to round out the regular season.

ESPN ranks LSU’s 2023 schedule as one of college football’s toughest

LSU’s set to face another tough schedule again this fall.

LSU is no stranger to tough schedules, and 2024 will be no different.

According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, LSU faces the nation’s 15th toughest schedule.

At the moment, LSU sits fourth in FPI. The lone team on LSU’s schedule ranked higher is Alabama. The only other top-15 team LSU’s set to face is Florida State. Unfortunately for LSU, neither of those games will be at home.

At the top, only facing two top 15 teams could be a bit easier than in past years. But what makes the SEC tough isn’t just facing the best teams, it’s the grind of facing decent teams every week.

LSU plays Ole Miss, Florida and Texas A&M — three schools projected to be top 20 in FPI. In the top 40, there’s Arkansas, Mississippi State, and Missouri. That makes eight of LSU’s 12 games top 40 opponents.

FPI projects LSU at 9.6 wins with a 1.6% chance of running the table, a 20.4% chance of winning the west and a 7.1% chance of winning the conference.
