The only issue with cancelling Wednesday night hotel room in Columbia for a cheaper one near ATL, is that check-in in Columbia would then be right in the middle of the afternoon when we'll be tailgating. Early check-in may not be available

and that definitley makes sense, but I'd suggest calling around some places pretty soon, like today, and seeing what you can find check-in wise.

I'm tellin ya, if you LAND at 10:30, you won't even get to the rental car desk until approaching 11. Leave airport around 11:30 after getting bags and car, then with perfect driving conditions get to columbia around 3am, keeping in mind the hell stretch between augusta and columbia. You can do it, but it'll be miserable. Personally, I need a good night's rest so I'd much rather get up at 5am if need be on Thursday and hit the road rather than do it all wednesday night.
