Again, most of those are meaningless games against pushovers.

Yes, you opened versus Clemson and Oregon, but mathematically there can only be 5-10 of these games, which means most of the games are not going to be top-10 matchups.

You realize this, right? You know that the very nature of a top N means that there's only N available teams. Right?

So that leaves most of CFB. I argue that a conference game that means something is better than a non-conference game that doesn't.

And you still don't get that very simple point.

But somehow UGA manages to do it over and over and over.

I've given you a lifetime of week 1 games to find me a great in-conference matchup for Florida.

UGA has 2 of them out of conference in 2021 and 2022 alone.
I also like how you fail to include 2014 Clemson, 2013 Clemson, 2011 Boise, 2009 Oklahoma St, 2007 Oklahoma St, 2005 Boise st, 2003 Clemson, and 2002 Clemson.
For some reason, UGA doesn't make it look so hard. A few phone calls. A few emails. And there is another one (2024 against Clemson).

It isn't difficult to beat out the bingo card rotation of conference games for "intensity" week 1.

Maybe we can just agree to disagree about what constitutes an intense college football matchup.
