UGA, weakest OOC scheduling team in the nation

Ron Mexico,

How was scheduling Clemson and Tech different than scheduling TCU or Texas Tech or Washington State or Iowa State or Maryland?  Just because we played our away game in Death Valley or Grant Field or whatever, how is that different than playing in Ft. Worth or whatever.  You are right about outside the south.  That does not mean a difference in quality.  If you are a Georgia grad, then you know the vast majority of the years since 65 when we went to Ann Arbor we have played Clemson, South Carolina and Tech home and home.  All three are BCS teams.  Clemson won a National Championship in 81 and Tech in 90.

How many other teams have a home game away from home every other year?  Texas and OU and Florida and Army and Navy.  WHo else?

I am glad with the 12th game we can start scheduling OOC home and away with teams from around the nation. 

Couple of things. I agree that Florida was better than Penn State last year. The person that stated "we could have just focused on the run" was 100% correct. However, I think our D would have put up a good fight especially if Tom Bradley had a month to prepare for you.

The way I see next year is as follows:

Big Ten:

Ohio State = Great Team

Penn State = Very Good

Wisconsin = Very Good

Illinois = Very Good Very Good means 11-1 to 9-3

Michigan = Good (they have a lot of question marks but could surprise next year, I wouldn't be shocked by 10-2)

Mich State = Good (Dantonio is doing a great job there)

Purdue = average

Indian = average

Iowa = average

N'wester = below average

Minnesota = porr

SEC

Georgia = Great Team

Florida = very good

Tennessee = very good

S. Carolina = Good

Kentucky = average

Vandy = below average

LSU = Very good to great ( not sure what they lost)

Auburn = Very good to great

Bama = Good

Ark = average

Miss St = average

Ole Miss = below average

Georgia, Fla, Tenn, LSU, Auburn I think all have potential to be a top 5 team, head to head play will prevent that

Ohio State is clearly the odds on favorite to win the big ten, I think Penn State and Wisconsin have an outside shot and as I mentioned Michigan could always surprise.

SEC should be a little stronger but not by much. In my humble opinion.

Tennessee beat Wisconsin, sorry accidently put Auburn in that sentence instead of Wisconsin.

And the Tech game is a game we play every year.  In the early 90's that meant we were playing a national championship contender.  In the 2000's it hasn't quite meant that, but seriously, bro.  That does not REMOTELY mean UGA is afraid to play big OOC games.

Youngstown State

Ohio

Troy

(of course they all might be better than minnesota)

Excuse me but didn't Troy give Georgia a good game last year?

Like I said...better than Minnesota.
