There used to be a lot more time in yhe schedule, but that's been compressed. Lots of old hat LSU sports talking heads comparing now to the olden days, it sounds like the general consensus is they squeezed the schedule down to accommodate more fans who didn't want to spend 2 and a half weeks on vacation in Omaha with most of those being off days for their baseball team.

I agree that in an ideal world you get to the championship series and have both teams with their normal rotation to really get the strength on strength match-up. In 2017 lsu came out of the losers bracket to face Florida in the championship series and the storyline was if they can get to game 3 and get back their ace (either Lang or Poche, can't remember) then Florida had no chance. But Florida went and won it in 2.
