You should. It’s a man’s schedule.
@Alabama
@Texas
@Ole Miss
End of the regular season, this team’s gonna be nasty.
Whoever gets GA in the playoffs…

I have always thought that if the goal is to win as many games as possible, making your schedule as difficult as possible flies in the face of all reason, logic, and common sense. So ideally we woudl not have trips to austin, tuscaloosa, and oxford on the schedule in adidiotn to our normal games against UF/UF/AU. Oh and opening the seaason with another top 10 opponent in clemson.
But there's nothing that can be done about it so why dwell on it? I'll just enjuoy each game as it comes like always.
I do disagree with the "UGA will be tested end of year so watch out whoever gets them in the playoffs" mindset. After the gauntlet we have to play we are invevitably, UNDOUBTEDLY going to be beat up bad so we can only pray it's to people that aren't too important. If we didn't have UT and OM down the stretch last year, maybe Brock and Ladd are healthy and we beat bama and are now a 3-time B2B2B champ.

I'm with you. Dawgs get better with adversity.
Here's to being a well-oiled machine come December ??

Agree with WG. A brutal schedule means more reps for starters, less reps for backups, which is not good. I like having at least a quarter of garbage time in every game for depth development and starter rest.

I agree completely. Historically the goal was to get to the SECCG with as few losses as possible so you could end up in the Top 4. Scheduling a tough OOC game didn’t help with any of that.
In the new format we’ll see what happens and if quality losses impact your ranking vs wins against cupcake teams.
From a fans POV though I think it will be great because we have some really big games to watch this year. Between Bama, Texas, OM and Clemson I’ll be thrilled if we get out with 3 wins.

And more playing time for backups might reduce the number of transfers at end of the season. Every player wants to feel like a contributor, not a constant benchwarmer.
One small advantage this year is that at least all of the backups are available for the easier home schedule. When we play the easier SEC games on the road, some backup won't be able to travel because of SEC travel roster limits.

It was definitely easier than the 24 schedule, but not as ridiculously easy as the media made it out to be. For 2023, here are number of regular season games the final AP top 10 played against ranked teams (final AP rankings in parentheses).
#1 Michigan - ------ 2 games (#10, 13)
#2 Washington----- 2 games (#7, 11)
#3 Texas------------- 4 games(#5, 15, 18, 23)
#4 Georgia---------- 3 games (#8, 9, 17)
#5 Alabama--------- 4 games (#3, 9, 12, 17)
#6 FSU--------------- 2 games (#12, 20)
#7 Oregon----------- 1 game (#2)
#8 Missouri---------- 4 games (#4, 12, 17, 18)
#9 Ole Miss----------3 games (#4, 5, 12)
#10 Ohio St----------3 games (#1, 13, 14)
Clemson 3 (#6, 14, 21)
Oklahoma 4 (#3, 16, 21, 23)
Notre Dame 4 (#10, 19, 20, 21)

It is what it is and it won’t be easy.

While that's true, let's keep in mind we're the premiere program in all of cfb so that certainly helps. If we played this same schedule with one of our mid 90s teams it'd be a nightmare we'd be dreading all off-season. I doubt Florida fans, who could legit go 4-8, are hyped about their schedule just bc theres some big names on it.
