AU-UGA date isn't set for 2015, so it could be in his range.

Nebraska-Miami in Miami
Co sign on that. If he thought the atmosphere in the Swamp was bad, how awful would a Miami game be?
Clemson/ND is a good suggestion and a reasonable alternative to UGA. For a Dutch guy who is all about the experience, it's about a big time atmosphere (Clemson, UGA, South Carolina, Auburn, Florida -- not Miami, UCF). And a good matchup where the visitors bring a lot of fans -- ND @ Clemson; Alabama @ UGA; South Carolina @ UGA; LSU @South Carolina. Add in a second SEC game at the Swamp and you have one hell of a trip.
Smart thing is still to fly in and out of two different airports. Depending on when the best games line up and any other destinations to hit on the journey (because Orlando is a big suck), fly in/out of Orlando & in/out Atlanta/Columbia.

if you're interested in american football this much, i'd just forego orlando ... schedule your vacation so that you take in two games in towns that have plenty of stuff in them and between them ... fly into atlanta and drive to athens for a stay/the bama/ug game, then drive through alabama and stop at auburn or bama's campus to visit, then on to new orleans and baton rouge to take in an lsu game, if the schedule permits ...
or something like that ... if you stay in orlando, you are a very long drive from every sec team, with the exception of florida ...

I still have no idea why so many people think I am not genuine, but i will response to the people who have made some good comments!
@ WG_Dawg - Thank u for your information about Georgia! It definetly stands at or near the top for a visit and the game against Alabama sounds like a great game. Only worried about the ticket prices for that game! The city of Athens sounds like the type of college town we would love to visit for a couple of days!
@ Pettifogger - Thanks for your insight about Auburn, Georgia and Alabama!
@ Bamatab - I really like the history and tradition from Alabama.
@ Springbokcock - Especially thanks to you! You really gave me some good information. If you don;'t mind I will ask you some other questions about some things you said on a later moment?
@ BamaBird - Yes, I will be rooting for Penn State in this one. Booked a nice B&B in Dublin so will be there for the weekend. Going to the pep rally on Friday and the game on Saturday!
@ Ole Yeller - Like I said, I follow College FOotball religiously since 2006! That includes reading lots of teams forums, watching as many games as I can and even follow recruiting for a couple of teams. The SEC is by far my favorite conference with a lot of teams I really like so finding the sec rant was not to hard.
@the dude321 - I'm trying real hard, but like I said soccer is the only sport(and in the winter speed skating) we follow religiously in the Netherlands(teams Ajax and Feyenoord and of course our "orange" Dutch National team. The people who follow FOotball overhere are 99/100 following the NFL.
@ BuckeyeFan19 - Notre Dame @ Clemson is also on my list and if the ticket prices are anywhere what I can pay after the Marriage and the honeymoon I probably will try to go to that game.
My interest in the Miami vs Nebraska game is also because I expect Nebraska to bring thousands of fans to Miami so there will be a nice atmosphere. The missus would like to go a couple of days to Miami, so that still is a good option. But my heart lies with games with Florida, Georgia, Auburn, South Carolina, Alabama and Clemson.
@ Prof - I saw the trailer of Battle at Bristol and am really interested in that one. The only thing is it is in 2016. The european championship soccer is in France in 2016 and already made tha deal with my friend to rent a house in France so we can go to some games in France, so I don't know if I have enough money for another trip to the states in 2016.
Thanks again for all the people who really helped me getting some more information! I really appreciate it!

So, you're saying that McGarity and Richt wield more clout than Gus and Jay?

I like you. In a world with shades on you see through the bullshite and find grateness that is college football.
Posted on 6/6/14 at 6:50 pm to DutchCFBfan
Georgia should be playing Alabama and/or South Carolina in Athens around that time. That's your best bet for a great game and quality experience.

Don't worry if people believe you or not. Enjoy your time in America and congrats on the future marriage.

Your English is better than about 90% of the southern United States.

If you up your maximum drive to 10 hours then you could come to Baton Rouge and take part in the best tailgating and game day atmosphere in the country! I might be a little biased but nobody cooks better food than we do and you'll be fed and given drinks until you can't take anymore.
