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.
bullshite. They are going to look at who has the highest number of fans and use money as the deciding factor.

If we're 12-1 and SEC Champs, we're in the playoffs barring the unlikely scenario there are 4 major undefeateds ahead of us.
It doesn't matter if one of those 12 is ohio state or NW State. But plyaing osu instead of nws massively decreases our chances of having that record.

shite, I'm down with a series against UVA and VT. Or even NC State or FSU or Texas. I'm cool with playing other teams in the South. If a USCw or UCLA or whoever else wants to play, let it be in JerryWorld or the new Dome or some neutral pro stadium.
ETA: I'm cool with the Notre Dame series because it's not horribly far (jumping, what, one time zone backward?) and its a matchup with a top 10 historical program that has arguably the most national fanbase of any college team we could schedule. We get exposure twice, regardless of how good they are at the time.

We went 1-2 and the two losses were when joe cox was the QB and Murrays first year. We went going to do shite those years anyways so I don't see how that proves anything. When we have a good team, playing the likes of a penn state or Michigan the past years shouldn't be a problem. And yeah we play tech every year but it's not like we've been struggling them consistently.
Bama plays in the west and has been consistently scheduling a prestigious power 5 team.
The uf and osu model obviously works too, I just would prefer more high profiled games

Colorado went 5-7 in 2010 and lost their games against ranked opponents by a combined 27-114, so it's not like we were playing a good team. 09 OSU went 9-4 but lost their only game against a ranked opponent (besides us in teh opener) by 4 touchdowns, so it's not like they were great either. If we had played a regular team instead of those, you're looking at better records, better bowls, and potentially a better season both times. No we weren't competing for a title in either year, but it's still nice to say you played in a January bowl game as opposed to memphis in december.

That's the thing, you can't predict 5 to 10 years in advance how good we'll be, or how good our opponents will be. Bama has reallly gotten lucky as hell in that in all their games against clemson, VT, michigan, PSU, etc they've only played one when they were actually competent (and bama was really good). We scheduled boise in 2011 thinking we'd put them in their place and we got embarrassed.

they don't have a built in OOC game every year like we do...

the ultimate, bottom line, flat out goal of any season should be a national title. Can we all agree on that? That's pretty straightforward. The best way to accomplish that goal is to win as many games as possible by mid-december. When you have 8 SEC games (which for a decade has been the hardest leage in america), a decent/moderately good tech team, plus an SECCG, there is no need to schedule a michigan on top of that. It's suicide unless you are just head and shoulders better than everyone else like bama was during their title runs. We aren't that good, yet. When was the last time we went undefeated in conference? 1982. We need to worry about taking care of business "in house" first before we start trying to play other hard teams in addition.

Well my point was that those uga teams were shitty and we lost those games because of that fact not because we went on the road.
as for the rest of that fricking novel, like I said, I would prefer more one high profile ooc game that isn't tech a year. Jmo.

We play in the friggin SEC. It's hard enough to win that let alone play an extra P5 team and make it through. Look at UF when they were winning championships. That's the model we should be following.

Why don't you ask TCU fans that question...no doubt in my mind they were a top 4 team...not even close.

And the SEC was down last year especially the East...who exactly did we lose to?Our SEC performance last year had NOTHING to any hardships suffered from our OOC schedule.

Who's in the BIG 10 dumbass. That means it's not a OOC game.

TCU and the rest of America will tell you it was because of OSU's fan base is twice the size of Baylor and TCU combined.

No shite. We weren't good enough to make it through our SEC schedule and you want to make our OOC schedule harder and at the same time some of you want to bitch about not winning a national championship. Maybe, just maybe we can do both but why on earth do we want to make it that much harder?

Huh? We weren't good enough to beat 2 unranked SEC teams...not wanting to make anything "harder" just would like to go home and home with an ND or PSU IF
WE DO NOT PLAY Clemson OOC...geez what the big freakn deal? Or do you just want us to schedule GT as out only P5 OOC game??If so,I think that freakin pathetic.
And I'm not one of those on this board bitching about NC's and calling for CMR's head after every loss.

Yes, since that is the best way to increase our chances at winning a national title. Really not rocket science.

I would only care about playing teams that we recruit against. Not crazy about any Big Ten school.
This will take away a home game and I'd much rather be in Athens playing nobody, than rubbing shoulders with some yankees.

If you want a national championship then this is not the way to go. It just adds one more degree of difficulty.
If you are fine with the status quo then this is your way to go. You get an exciting game but make your odds for a natty go down.
I'm not calling for Richt's head. I'm just saying I want to give us the best odds for winning a national championship and making the schedule harder is not the way to go.
