LSU will play two of the top three games in 2009, according to Rivals.com senior college football writer Tom Dienhart. The Tigers’ home game against Florida on Oct. 10 ranks No. 2, and their road game against Alabama on Nov. 7 ranks No. 3. LSU’s game at Ole Miss on Nov. 21 ranks No. 22, its game at Georgia on Oct. 3 ranks No. 25 and its home game against Auburn on Oct. 24 ranks No. 54.
Center stage, however, belongs to the Red River Shootout between Oklahoma and Texas. The Oct. 17 showdown in Dallas not only determines supremacy in the Big 12 South, Dienhart writes, but also the pecking order for the BCS title game. The game has been to this decade what Florida-Florida State was in the 1990s and Florida State-Miami was in the 1980s. To check out Dienhart’s list of must-see football, click here.
