They will be a double digit favorite in every game. UGA has been good but they are not challenged enough. They need to start scheduling a harder schedule. Can not believe their schedules are not scrutinized more.

Love that you posted this. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Can’t wait to see the discussion on this.

 

[Snoopy]

That is the SEC. They pay weaker schools a good amount of money to be their sacrificial pigs.

 

[Tecumseh]

At least they don’t pull a Bama and schedule Univ of Mississippi-Tupelo the week before their rivalry game.

 

[AAABatteries]

I promise you I hate UGA more than all of you people combined but they played Oregon this year and were playing Oklahoma next year until OK joined the SEC and they cancelled the home and home. Auburn and Florida are down at the moment but UT is on the way back up. And alas, GT provides them nothing in the in-state rivalry.

ESPN has their SOS this current season just ahead of Michigan's and Ohio State's (35 vs 41 and 37), so I'm not sure there's that much to scrutinize vs other top teams.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

These championship games are pretty terrible football.

I hate UGA with every fiber of my being but my hot take here is that this thread is a frozen, ice cold take.

The in-conference schedule algorithmically rotates like every other conference's other than the Big 12. That means some years their SEC West opponent will be Alabama, and some years it will be Arkansas. Nothing they can do about that.

The major and very obvious thing you're leaving out is that they scheduled @Oklahoma for 2023 (which at the time of scheduling was a perennial top 5 team), but that game was canceled a couple of months ago due to the new conference re-alignment. At that point everyone's schedules were set so not much they could do to replace that game other than pick up an available FCS team.

Considering what they actually scheduled originally, that means their OOC games were to be @Oklahoma, @Georgia Tech, UAB, Ball State. Which in total would probably have been the toughest (especially at time of scheduling) OOC schedule of any team currently in competition for the playoffs this year. You can compare that to the 2023 OOC schedule of other playoff contenders...

Michigan

1. East Carolina (home)
2. UNLV (home)
3. Bowling Green (home)

Ohio State

1. Youngstown St (home)
2. Western Kentucky (home)
3. @Notre Dame

Clemson

1. Wofford (home)
2. Florida Atlantic (home)
3. Notre Dame (home)
4. @South Carolina

TCU

1. Colorado (home)
2. Nicholls (home)
3. SMU (home)

And of course, none of that is to mention that the SEC championship extra game usually includes an opponent a little better than UNC or Purdue.

But this year it was on par. I’m not sure how fixable it is either when you have a 12-game regular season. It does suck when teams break contracts, not much Georgia could do in this spot.

Michigan's been scheduling marshmallows non conference games the last two years, and they've won the big ten and made the playoff both years. Unless there's a lot of extra money in it for them, I'm not sure why they'd change.

i asked for 2024

Since the CFPs started it does not make sense to schedule tough non conference games and risk a loss. If you lose one of them one more loss and it is donezo.

Look at Bamas non conference since the playoffs started. Bunch of cupcakes.

Their rival doesn't give them much of a game

 

[TheWalkmen]

Georgia is only winning and good due to their schedule; pretty obvious, folks, nothing left to see.

They have been good, you are correct.
