(5) GEORGIA and ARMY are the only teams playing two neutral games
The Bulldogs add a Week 1 clash with (3) Clemson in Charlotte to their standing date with (13) Florida in Jacksonville in Week 8. The Black Knights add a Nov. 6 date vs. Air Force at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas to their annual fixture with Navy which is slated for Dec. 11 in East Rutherford, N.J.
Georgia hasn’t played two neutrally sited games during the regular season since 2016 when it opened the season with a win over (22) North Carolina in Atlanta and then lost to (14) Florida in its annual clash in Jacksonville. For Army it was as recently as 2018 when it beat San Jose State in October in Levi Stadium in Santa Clara before wrapping up the season with a win over Navy in Philadelphia.
KANSAS is on an 0-72 run vs. its 2021 schedule
The Jayhawks are the only team in the nation to be on the wrong end of a losing streak against each and every one of its FBS opponents this season. They’ve lost 16-straight to (2) Oklahoma, 12-straight to K-State, 11-straight to both Baylor and Oklahoma State, seven-straight to West Virginia, six-straight to (7) Iowa State, three-straight to (21) Texas, two-straight to both (22) Coastal Carolina and TCU and one-straight to Duke and Texas Tech.
(1) ALABAMA is on a 70-0 run vs. its 2021 schedule
The antithesis of Kansas, (1) Alabama is one of only three FBS teams currently enjoying a winning streak against each of its FBS opponents in 2021. What gives the Tide top billing is that where (2) Oklahoma is on a 61-0 run vs. its field and (9) Notre Dame is 29-0 vs. its 2021 foes, Alabama has won a nation-leading 70 straight – 14 over Tennessee, 13 over both Arkansas and Mississippi State, eight over (6) Texas A&M, seven over (13) Florida, six over Southern Miss, five over Ole Miss and one each over Auburn, (16) LSU, (14) Miami Fla., and New Mexico State.
ARKANSAS and RICE are both playing three old Southwest Conference opponents
The Razorbacks are slated to open the 2021 season with back-to-back home dates vs. Rice and (21) Texas. After a visit from Georgia Southern in Week 3, the Hogs will travel to Arlington, Texas to take on (6) Texas A&M. As for the Owls, they open at Arkansas, host Houston in Week 2 and then make the trek to Austin to face Texas in Week 3.
Arkansas called the SWC home for 76 years (1915-91) – or until they bolted for the SEC – while Rice was a card-carrying member for 80 years (1915-94), or until the league disbanded.
While the Razorbacks have played the Aggies 12 times and the Longhorns on six occasions since leaving the SWC, it hasn’t faced Rice since it’s final year there. The Owls have met Houston (its cross-town rival) 17 times since the SWC broke-up and has played Texas on 13 occasions.
STANFORD is playing a dozen Power 5 opponents
Stanford’s non-league slate this year features games vs. K-State (at Arlington, Texas), at Vanderbilt and vs. (9) Notre Dame. Add in the required nine Pac-12 opponents and the Cardinal is the only team in the nation to be playing 100% Power clubs. Compare that to (1) Alabama which is slated to face (14) Miami Fla. (at Atlanta), FCS Mercer, Southern Miss, and New Mexico State in non-conference play. Throw in the eight league opponents SEC members must play and that’s nine Power 5 foes, a C-USA member, an independent and an FCS school. Yikes!

Kansas' suck level never ceases to amaze me

Georgia will actually wind up playing 5 neutral site games.
I imagine that is a record.

You're probably right. And they'll probably win all of them but the last one, which they will lose in the final minute, because Georgia.

This is legitimately astonishing. Why do they even try? I mean, "try," I guess.

This actually incorrect.

one each over Auburn, (16) LSU, (14) Miami Fla., and New Mexico State.
a "streak" is at least 2 games
