Boise WAS ranked #5 in the country and we were #19...so....choke? Really?

OOC teams played by South Carolina over the past 5 years that is not their major rival.

Yep. You guys picked out all the powerhouses....we're really glad you managed not to lose to one of them.

Wofford (Twice)
East Carolina (Twice)
The Citadel
UAB (Twice)
Troy
NC State
Florida Atlantic
South carolina State (Twice)

I'm not knocking UGA's OOC schedule, cos aside from the annual game against GT it's been pretty good. And y'all can't help that they suck.

But you're a little off (and disingenuous) on your games USC has played OOC.

Since a few other UGA fans have counted this year's game against Clemson, that means USC should count this year's game against UNC, too, as well as this year's game against UCF (can't talk shite about UCF, UGA fans...)

So, since 2007,

UNC (2x)
NCSU with a NFL rookie-of-the-year at QB (2x)
ECU (2x)
UCF once, though USC played them in 2005, as well.
Navy once
Southern Miss once

The games against Wofford, Citadel, SCSU, Furman and the Citadel really can't be thrown in USC's face, as they're done to help keep money in the state. It's not a "law," per se, but Clemson and USC both are strongly encouraged to schedule the other schools inside the state as a way to help their athletic budgets and pad an easy win.

I'd love for Carolina to schedule a home-and-home with FSU, Louisville, Va Tech, West Virginia or someone of that ilk in a relatively decent proximity. Still, as far as our OOC schedule goes, it's not nearly as bad as some of the other schools in the conference.
