UGA, weakest OOC scheduling team in the nation

Tdozzy,

You guys have the obsession with playing games in the cold, not I.  So if it is not an issue with you that is fine and we can give it a rest.

The issue with Florida and Florida State is one of who they are playing.  They play a BCS opponent every year home and home.  And that particular opponent happens to be the record holder for most consecutive top 5 finishes.  That is the issue.  What is your deal with travel?  The fact that they are an out of conference but in-state rival makes then at least the equal of going out and playing UCLA or Cal or Mizzou or whatever.

You made the remark about SEC teams not traveling outside of their area this decade.  Well, your Ohio State Buckeyes have made exactly one trip to SEC territory since 1908.  That is one time in 100 years.  Meanwhile, Columbus has hosted SEC teams 9 times.  Yeah, your visit was to Baton Rouge.  Your Buckeyes have played 16 regular season games against ACC teams and 14 have been in Columbus.  One of your visits was to Chesnut Hill and the other to Raleigh.  So in total, other than bowl games your Buckeyes have made exactly 2 visits to schools in the southeast in 100 years of playing football.  The University of Georgia has made 2 visits to Ann Arbor in that time alone.  The University of Florida has played in Evanston and Bloomington during that time. 

Your home and home ratio with the Big XII is just as bad.  You almost never play Notre Dame, so that leaves the PAC 10.  And because of the Big Ten and PAC Ten relationship in the Rose Bowl you have played quite a few games with the PAC Ten.  But even then, there is a great disparity.  Against the California teams you are even in home and away games.  Against the Huskies you actually have played one more game in Seattle.  But against Washington State, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon and Oregon State you have played 21 games.  Three of those were outside of the Horseshoe.

I have not criticized who the Buckeyes play.  But please stop with this incessant crap about when are you going to play a game outside the south.  

tdozzy,

You my friend are a trip.  The 12th game was initiated on a permanent basis two years ago.  Got that....2 years ago.  Our 12th game in 06 was Colorado at home.  Our 12th game in 07 was Oklahoma State at home.  Our 12th game in 08 is at Arizona State.  Our 12th game in 09 is Arizona State at home AND our 11th game is Oklahoma State on the road.  Our 12th game in 10 is Colorado on the road.  Our 12th game in 11 is Louisville at home. Our 12th game in 12 is Louisville on the road.  Our 12th game in 13 is Clemson on the road.  Our 12th game in 14 is Clemson at home.  Our 12th game in 15 is Oregon on the road.  Our 12th game in 16 is Oregon at home.  In addition, we play Georgia Tech home and home every year.  In SUMMARY, UGA plays 10 BCS games each year through 2016 except in 2009 when we play 11 BCS games.  We play 2 non conference BCS opponents every year except on 2009 when we play 3. 

Now tell me how many BCS out of conference games the Buckeyes are playing?  So far they are playing one BCS OOC opponent for the next 10 years or so except for the one year when you are playing Cincinnati again.  And by the way, we have been playing home and away with one OOC BCS level team for about a hundred years or so.

Were you listening?

We are truly honored that you want to give us credit for playing Georgia Tech.  That is so nice of you.  As I said the 12th game was initiated starting last year after being used as an exception in 2003 and 2004.  We have played a major BCS OOC opponent both years and the away games are coming up with them starting in 09 and 10.
