LSU Football and the Curse of the Even-Numbered Season

Starting with the 1992 season, due to a reformatting of the Southeastern Conference schedule, LSU has had to play Arkansas, Auburn and Florida on the road in even-numbered years. The Tigers have never defeated all three of those opponents during those seasons. In fact, LSU's dismal record at both Gainesville and at Auburn stands at 4-8. The Bayou Bengals haven’t fared much better against Arkansas either, whether at Fayetteville (1-2) or at Little Rock (4-5).

Why has LSU failed to win at all three opponents' stadiums in the same season? It is not as though the Tigers cannot beat those teams during the same year.
