Our once in a over a decade matchup is Arkansas at home. Not sure how I feel about it.
Playing UGA in novemeber is all kinds of wrong.
Opening conference play on the road for the second year in a row sucks

UGA in November? Yeesh.
Really starting to hate opening with NC-based opponents in Charlotte. It's dumb and needs to stop.

I don't mind opening in CLT. It makes it really easy for area recruits to see that game/us play. I like it better on Saturday than Thursday again.
I don't like our bye week placement, that's bullshite. This year we have a pointless bye week before UMass and next year we have it before Vandy. Someone needs to start advocating for us at the SEC.
Playing UGA in Nov kinda sucks, b/c when you play them early in the season, you can always count on a few of their players being suspended. However, they've also had some November arrests the past couple of years, so there's that to consider as well.
Wofford...a triple option team right before clemson... I hope our DL's knees make it out of that game ok.

Glad the opener is on a Saturday. Last year against UNC was awful, but NC State has a better fan base, and the Saturday game should help with attendance.
Decent schedule overall. Don't like UGA in November, but I am also glad we don't have five home games in a row.

I'm ready for a 10 game SEC schedule. I'm all for traditional games but the TSIO & DSOR lunatic fringe can shut up forever if we go to 10. Carolina can add SCSU (Soul Bowl) annually to open the season or put it before the blood feud.
Wofford...??? I guess El Cid or Navy wasn't available. pure asinine - especially where it lands on the schedule.
also - congrats to Auburn for receiving the "3 SEC road games in 4 weeks" GIFT from B'ham in 2017. we got it this year and back in 2011 as well.
1980 - last time Carolina/Georgia played in November. 3rd time ever. 1980 is also the only other time Georgia has ever played Florida, Carolina & Auburn in consecutive weeks. I guess they added Notre Dame in week 2 as well because they won't make it to the Sugar this time to play them.
