re: How the heck did the softball team schedule a non-conference series at the end of the year

I'm not arguing if there were even or odd numbered softball teams in the SEC. I'm arguing why you wouldn't schedule this non-conference series earlier in the year, not right before tournament time, when you're making a push for seeding with strength of schedule etc.

You have doubled down on "stupid".

LSU has NO say which weekend their bye falls in league. The league tells them which weekend they aren't scheduled.

And as far as who you schedule, you are at the mercy of whatever other teams around the country also have a conference bye week the same week you do.

Liberty was solid last year, and are top 40 this year. It is a good series to schedule, and Torina's mindset about it is correct:

“We need a little reset here. We have a long week (no midweek games). We’re done with SEC play and it feels like we can come up for air before we head to the SEC tournament.”
