Hi, almost verbatim what I said in your linked article. It’s not unique. Every team does it. Tennessee probably gets a lot more early install than vandy, and fcs schools. And some more than other teams. But a team that focuses on one opponent all year is destined to lose to others.

Actually you tried to bust balls and challenged me to find any article linking to what I suggested. I did that and also showed another instance when Clemson had prepped for another game in advance. I never said every week was “Tennessee Week”. I said that UGA prepped for us all season. Which they did.

I bolded your quote saying they will spend part of every practice just like last year. But it’s whatever.

I think both of you guys are partially right. :) My guess is that this year Georgia will spend more defensive practice time on Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Auburn than on other teams. Those teams run the most unique offenses UGA will see in the regular season. How much more time, I have no idea, but presumably they'll try to allocate it so the defense is equally well versed on the various offensive schemes they face.

I also don't think they'll risk being unprepared for an opponent because Georgia's schedule is not particularly impressive and losing any single game might be enough to knock them out of the playoffs.

“Not particularly impressive” - that’s being extremely charitable.

Essentially, all this complaining about our schedule is simply more complaining that Alabama has been our permanent cross over, because Florida and Georgia are both more aggressive schedulers than we are as demonstrated by the out of conference scheduling of the 3 teams below. Georgia and Florida typically schedule at least two power 5 teams out of conference (power 5 opponents listed below in bold). We haven't scheduled more than one since 2003.

Tennessee's OOC schedule 2016-2025:

2016- Virginia Tech, Appalachian State, Ohio, Tennessee Tech.
2017- Georgia Tech, Indiana State, UMass, Southern Miss.
2018- West Virginia, East Tennessee St., UTEP, Charlotte.
2019- BYU, Georgia State, Chattanooga, UAB, Georgia State.
2020- PANDEMIC/ALL CONFERENCE
2021- Pitt, Bowling Green, South Alabama, Tennessee Tech.
2022- Pitt, Ball State, Akron, UT Martin.
2023- Virginia, Austin Peay, UTSA, UConn.
2024- NC State (replaced OU game), Chattanooga, Kent State, UTEP.
2025- Syracuse, UAB, not scheduled yet, not scheduled yet.

Florida's OOC schedule 2016-2025:

2016- Florida State, UMass, North Texas, (lost Presbyterian due to Hurricane).
2017- Michigan, Florida State, UAB, Northern Colorado.
2018- Florida State, Colorado State, Idaho, Charleston Southern.
2019- Miami, Florida State, Towson, UT Martin.
2020- PANDEMIC/ALL CONFERENCE
2021- Florida State, Florida Atlantic, South Florida, Samford.
2022- Utah, Florida State, South Florida, Eastern Washington.
2023- Utah, Florida State, McNeese, Charlotte.
2024- Miami, Florida State, Central Florida, Samford.
2025- Florida State, Miami, Florida A&M, South Florida.


Georgia's OOC schedule 2016-2025:

2016- North Carolina, Georgia Tech, Louisiana, Nicholls.
2017- Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Appalachian State, Samford.
2018- Georgia Tech, Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee State, UMass.
2019- Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Murray State, Arkansas State.
2020- PANDEMIC/ALL CONFERENCE
2021- Clemson, Georgia Tech, UAB, Charleston Southern.
2022- Oregon, Georgia Tech, Samford, Kent State.
2023- Georgia Tech, Ball State (replaced OU game), UT Martin, UAB.
2024- Clemson, Georgia Tech, UMass, Tennessee Tech.
2025- UCLA, Georgia Tech, Austin Peay, Charlotte.

Unquestionably, Tennessee has had the hardest overall permanent opponent draw from the West, since divisional play began in 1992:

Alabama is 284-101 (5th most wins in CFB for the period since 1992)
LSU is 267-121 (11th most wins in CFB for the period since 1992) &
Auburn is 251-134 (19th most wins in CFB for the period since 1992)

Tennessee is 248-138 (24th most wins in CFB for the period since 1992)
Georgia is 294-103 (3rd most wins in CFB for the period since 1992)
Florida is 284-112) (5th most wins in CFB for the period since 1992).

While Tennessee certainly has had the toughest draw of permanent Western Division foes, LSU and Auburn can likewise claim that they have had tougher draws than Alabama for their permanent Eastern Division foe. Otherwise, the conference schedule rotates and sort of is what it is, except for 2020 the pandemic year which was basically drawing straws from what I understand. Georgia played Alabama that year, as did Tennessee.

Man, our AD gives us some crappy games. But I'm still ready to puff my chest about playing virginia this year. In your face georgia!

Alos, kudos on putting that together. Makes the board better.

This will not be popular, but the truth is that this schedule isn’t GA’s fault. We can’t help that we can’t play Oklahoma. Anymore than we can help that aside from TN and hopefully SC the rest of the East seems soft. Historically Auburn and FL are usually tough games. You play the schedule

this is true. if you look at the games Georgia actually controls, the 4 OOC games, their schedule looks a lot like ours. Weak ACC program "P5" game. then three gimmes. we always luck out and of course pull a G5 opponent who won 10 games last year, and UCONN isn't as craptastic as they have been.

I was actually thinking there is a parallel between your run and Bama’s run because Auburn has sucked with your rise in power and We sucked for a long time during Bama’s time on top. The difference will be that Auburn looks like that they made a competent hire , while we had a 3 peat of dumb w/ Dooley, Butch and Pruitt. The scheduling format will also play a role moving forward as well
