By including the Superdome games only helped LSU's differential score.

But I'm not worried about helping LSU's "score." Like I said above, it would be interesting to see those stats (which you did a great job putting together) for all 112 teams in college football, and trying to draw conclusions from that for whatever its worth. For example, if you look at Penn State and A&M, sure they have a large differential, but they also have a terrible overall record (50% or so) compared to everyone else -- which is an odd coincidence, and I'd wonder if that coincidence was common when looking at all 112 teams in college football.

My point was only that I wouldn't include bowl games into the home record. I would just look at regular season home games. Sure, if LSU decided to make the Superdome its home stadium for one or more of our regular season games (which we've never done as far as I know), then that would count as a home game for LSU. Arkansas does use two different stadiums for home games. They have their stadium on their campus, which is way up in the NW part of Arkansas. But for big games, like their game against LSU, they have the game at a big stadium in Little Rock, which is a much larger city that is centrally located in Arkansas.

Were we the last SEC team to go up there?

WOW!!! I just looked it up myself. Before our trip in '88, Kentucky was the last SEC school to go, and that was in 1935!!! Vandy went in '33. They're the only other SEC schools to play in Columbus. ****

****Kentucky went in 1919, and Vandy in 1909 and '31 (the SEC didn't even exist yet for these 3 games)


Edit: To be fair, other than the game with us in '87, OSU hasn't been to an SEC stadium in almost 100 years. Vandy in '08, and Kentucky in 1895.

Not sure how you quoted me in that one...that was Wingate's stuff, and the quote was from his post....not sure it was you, could have been the forum gremlins- they do stuff like that from time to time...bastards.

Yes, and they were both (in Baton Rouge and in Columbus) great games.

If you were to rank the teams in the SEC on the likelihood of their going out of region these days I'd say it broke down thusly - based on games against significant opponents.

Tennessee (always does it - every year, or every other year, it seems)

Auburn

Miss State

LSU

The most cloistered team of note from the SEC? Probably Georgia.

Florida: Illinois (1967), Northwestern (1966, 1965), Chicago (1930, 1926)

Not by much. We both get OU, ASU & Cal are about Equal, Miami is a fucking Farce these days so Colorado is a step above them. We got no one in our OOC to match USC though.

Edit: Forgot these: Va Tech is better than N.C. State too.
