LSU football will hope to successfully defend its national championship in 2020.

LSU football knows as well as any program that there’s no such thing as an easy schedule when playing in the SEC.

If the Tigers are going to successfully defend their 2019 national championship, they’re going to have to run through the gauntlet of the SEC West, while also hosting Texas.

Not fun.

But LSU proved last season they can handle the best of the best. In 2020, the Tigers won’t have as much firepower, but they should still be favored in most of their matchups.
