Really, other than the rivalry game, over that time UGA had a home and home with Clemtech and they started the season vs UNC last year. Not exactly lining up juggernauts themselves.

Playing Georgia Tech every single season produces an OOC schedule that is infinitely more difficult than Mississippi State's all on its own.

We don't have to schedule any other power programs if we don't want to, but unlike State we aren't looking for the "easy" way out.

2016- We played North Carolina
2014- We played #15 Clemson
2013- We played #8 Clemson
2011- We played #18 Boise State
2010- We played Colorado
2009- We played Oklahoma State AND Arizona State

Add those up along with Georgia Tech each year and it means we've played 14 Power OOC opponents during the regular season during the Mullen era.... that's 7x more than Mississippi State, and that doesn't include an extra game against a Top 20 Boise State team.

If there is one team in the SEC who goes above and beyond when it comes to OOC scheduling, its UGA.
