Another dumbass schedule move. Nothing to gain from this game.

Bama schedules big name schools that carry weight, but are not on top like Michigan,etc.

Pretty interesting considering that Virginia had us playing them in the 2015 CFA Kickoff Game on their season ticket information back in like early 2012

I don't follow your logic. Louisville will be in the ACC by then and will be a top 4 ACC team if Strong is still there. Quality game.

Auburn isn't going to play in Dallas. They want to stay closer to home for recruiting purposes, and I don't think you will see B1G schools coming to play in the CFA game (maybe we will see it in 2017 with the new stadium).

The CFA game is trying to branch out from the SEC/ACC matchup, but in order to do that they have to go for the smaller conferences. Look at the other teams that have signed up for these games - Boise State and West Virginia.

I'm just sick of dull names like Kansas St,etc that are just as good as Michigan right now. Let's schedule some schools that bring big time excitement on a national level.

Gary Stoken knows how to fill the dome for his game...scheduling Auburn to play anyone does that.

We are always gonna be a popular pick...

Now, I'd rather it be against FSU or Miami but it will be on national tv with Ga recruits watching...there are plenty of upsides to this.

Louisville wouldn't be my first pick, but it's at least an unusual/interesting match up. I'm just thankful it's not Clemson again.

Hopefully by then our offense will bring big time excitement on a national level on it's own by then.
