As someone who believes Georgia’s 2018 home schedule leaves something to be desired, this is an argument I’d ordinarily be prepared to take seriously…
… until I consider the source.
Then I realize he’s just doing a little preemptive field clearing for Nick Saban.
Wake me up when PAWWWLLL!!! launches the same critique ‘Bama’s way. For that matter, Georgia’s cross-division schedule strikes me as a whole lot more credible than Alabama’s does.

Not defending the Conehead, but it was that wealth of knowledge, and former ACC writer, Heather Dinich who he was quoting. She has been hating on the Dawgs for years. She can’t hide her bias.

Absolutely. If we win the East and beat Bama (likely) in the SECCG there should not be a word said. With wins over Auburn, LSU, Bama, and winning the East, who exactly would have a better resume than a 11-2 or 12-1 UGA? Still want better games, but I don’t fear that performance being questioned by anyone with half a brain (sorry Heather).

She is an airhead with a bias, but no one can deny the OOC games are especially weak in 2018. Some of this is on McDoofus for being a weeny, some on the fans who continue to support the non-competitive games just to pad the record. But the bigger issue is to view the OOC games in isolation, you have to look at the entirety of the schedule. Programs in the Big 14, PAC 12, etc., need better quality OOC because they face lesser athletes in conference games than SEC teams do. The pounding and wear and tear from SEC quality athletes over a season has to be factored in, no other conference has the depth of athletes SEC teams do. I still support a 9th conference game for the SEC, even if just to take another game away from McDoofus.

“Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity received a two-year contract extension Thursday that will run through December 2017. McGarity, who was hired in September 2010, is getting a $40,000 raise to bring his annual salary to $500,000 effective July 1. He will receive another raise of $50,000 next summer.” I’m too lazy to look up his current nut But a half mil aint bad.

Alabama’s out of conference scheduling is routinely pathetic. Yes, they play that one out of conference Power 5 team every year in a “neutral” site. Since 2000 they have played exactly 4 OOC Power 5 teams in a true away game. Meanwhile, in addition to Tech every other year, Georgia has played in Clemson twice, South Bend, Stillwater, Tempe and Boulder. Alabama folks need to shut up when it comes to out of conference scheduling.

Bama gets the slight nod in OOC with two Sunbelts, a SoCon and Louisville who will perhaps be better than Tech this season (but I honestly have no clue). Georgia also adds a C-USA and an independent formerly of the MAC in UMass. However, UGA on the road at LSU trumps Bama hosting Mizzou by a long shot.

Let’s stop talking about the other SEC schools schedules and be only interested in our UGA schedules.I totally agree with “Aladawg’s” comments.As a UGA grad and a season ticket holder since 1974 we have no business playing these three(3 ) cupcakes this season.Maybe one for Homecoming but three(3) are too many.We are being asked to send in (soon)$55/ticket for those games.On the morning of the game which will probably be played at noon those same tickets might sell for $10/ticket at the corner of Lumpkin and Baxter streets.What’s the reaction going to be someday when our ‘strength of schedule” knocks us out of a four team playoff?
