We're talking football of course.

I know UGA has two.

Anyone else?



UF: Miami and FSU
LSU: USC and UCLA
UGA: GT and Clemson

Playing Ga Tech every year doesn't make you special. Off the top of my head, UF plays Miami and FSU.

GaTech, the Vanderbilt of the ACC. Bobby Dodd ain't walking through that door.

They are a P5 and better than Bama's 2nd best OOC game every year.

Sooo... it is more special than the gumps.

Is this a thread where Georgia fans brag and pretend that GT is a real opponent?

Only a P4 now. And Alabama has a run of two P4 games starting next year and is scheduled to run until 2034.

That being said, GT is a popular dark horse pick in the ACC. They are improving under our old OL coach.

People really got lost in the past 4 years under Geoff Collins to forget that GT has been a solid program for the most part.

They're not a world beater. And under Collins for 4 seasons they were a Vandy type program. but other than that they're an 8-4 kind of team on average with a few good seasons mixed in.

They have a more recent new years 5 level bowl win than a lot of teams (2013). They were an average bowl team last year.

They aren't Vandy. They're more like Arkansas, to the poin they both had recent bad coaching hires with a horrible run (Collins for GT, Morris for Arkansas).

Combining a 7-6 to 8-5 type team with another top 25 level team every season (which is essentially what UGA does most seasons) is a higher level of scheduling than 98% of the nation's P5 teams do OOC.

Georgia is doing to GT what LSU did to Tulane.

That's a 10-2 schedule at the absolute worst for whoever has it.

Alabama vs. GTU all time:
28-21-3

Georgia vs. GTU all-time:
71-41-5

And your fight song mentions Georgia Tech, but I guess you didn't learn that before you dropped out of Northport High School.
