Georgia eyeing more high-profile football opponents

No no no. Our schedule is tough enough that it cost vs benefit is not worth it. And spare me the crap about "if we're the best we'll beat them anyways". It's a grueling season, we don't need extra hurdles.

This is so utterly stupid it's hard to wrap my head around. Did we learn nothing from damon's "increase the brand" experiment?

The SEC is hard enough as it is. Throw in our auto OOC game with tech every year and we're left with 3 tune up games. It makes absolutely no sense to exchange one of those with yet another "high profile" game that we have an equal chance of winning as losing. It's even more idiotic when you consider that now we also have playoffs to think about, adding one MORE hard as shite game on the way to a national title.

Yeah it's fun for the fans and all, and I'll go wherever we play, but ya know what's more fun? Winning a fricking title (I assume, I've never seen one). The odds of us winning one go up exponentially by playing as many easy games as we can instead of shite like this.

Yeah, worked out so great for us getting back to athens from Tempe at like 6am on sunday with a massive SEC game waiting on us the next weekend.

I think our fans, that'd be pretty neat

I had a great time in tempe, boulder, and stillwater. But fact is we lost 2 of those games. I enjoyed the experience, but I would've enjoyed a win just as much.

Don't be a puss. It would be way more entertaining to play a penn state than charleston southern

---

entertaining? Obviously. Practical as it relates to our ultimate goal of winning a title? Not even remotely close. It's all fun until you lose.

This strategy has worked out well for Bama

And my preference worked out for florida, who won 2 nattys in 3 years by doing what they had to do in the SEC and playing scrubs OOC. In fact, UF lost an SEC game in both 06 and 08 and still won a title, based on the strength of winning the SEC.

How much do you want UGA to play Penn State?

More than you can possibly imagine. I already texted my PSU buddies. I want to DESTROY them in their sacred valley.

Yea, but we beat all three when they came to Athens. Would you go to Athens to see Georgia play Ohio State or USCw? We get them here by agreeing to go there. The new playoff system will put more emphasis on quality of win and less on a close loss to a top team.
We can't win the NC if we don't get into the playoffs.

And went 1-2 on the road. Pretty sure these high profile games aren't just going to be in Athens.

I would go to Athens to watch us play anybody. I would rather walk out of Sanford with a W against a nobody than a loss against Ohio State. Would you not?

We can't win the NC if we don't get into the playoffs.

you're exactly right. And you get to the playoffs by winning as many games as possible in your first 12/13 games. Playing ohio state or usc diminishes our chances of that.

bullshite. Who played in the playoffs that played two OOC P5 schools? Until something actually changes I'll believe it.

I think the playoff committee is gonna start looking real hard at strength of schedule when picking playoff teams. Could be a good thing when it comes to us loosing a big SEC game or SEC Championship during the season.

"High Profile"

I'm ok with playing "mid tier" teams like a clemson, lousville, north carolina, etc. Those carry a brand name recognition higher than a rent a win, but there's far more likliehood of a win, which SHOULD be the bottom line goal. Playing oregon, ohio state, michigan, usc, etc simply does us no good other than fans wanting a vacation.
