ewGA makes up the home and home w/ colorado in '08.. and ASU and Oklahoma St road games coming up in either 08 or 09... still amazing though

Good for them, assuming that they end up making those trips. (I already have a wager with a GA fan that they will not make that trip to Stillwater.) I just think intersectional games like that are great for college football. You'd think they'd be able to devise a system that would reward teams that schedule those games, especially with the 12th game to play with. Who wants to see Florida/Western Carolina this weekend?

i'd say it's very pro gator

The crowd is 50/50.

This made me curious, so I looked it up. As has been mentioned, Auburn played at USC and Alabama at Oklahoma and UCLA in just the last few years, so I didn't look much farther back for them. But other than one trip to the Hawaii bowl a few years ago, Georgia has not played a game anywhere outside the south in over 40 years -- 1965 at Michigan.

If you don't count Texas as the south, then they did make four bowl trips to Texas in the 70s and 80s. And one game at Houston in 1965. But either way, it's been 40 years since they scheduled a game outside the southeast.

You should know bowl games don't count... Those aren't voluntary. That trip to Ann Arbor was the last time UGA voluntarily left the south to play a football game. As for the Bama and Auburn references, those recent trips are the first time since the 80's for both.

Sweet.

In defense of Georgia, the new AD is looking to change that. In the coming years they have trips scheduled to Oregon, Colorado and I think one of the Arizona schools. I wonder if UGA fans will know how to book a flight?

I see you have been reading the Tech posts on "the Vent".

Eight Pac-10 teams have played nationally ranked non-conference opponnents. Oregon State also played Boise State before the Broncos were ranked.

Only Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt can make such a claim. Ole Miss also played Wake Forest before the Deacs were ranked. South Carolina and Georgia also have Clemson and Georgia Tech, respectively, looming on the schedule who are borderline top 25 at the moment.

So, in the Pac-10 that accounts for 90% while it's not much over half in the SEC, and mostly the crappy teams anyways.

Non-conference schedules:

Southern Cal: Arkansas[w], Nebraska[w], Notre Dame
California: Tennessee[L], Minnesota[w], Portland State[w]
Oregon: Fresno St[w], Oklahoma[w], Portland State[w]
Oregon St: E.Washington[w], Boise St[L], Idaho[w]

UCLA: Utah[w], Rice[w], Notre Dame [L]
Washington: Utah St [w], Oklahoma [L], Fresno St[w]
Stanford: San Jose St[L], Navy[L], Notre Dame[L]

Games versus BCS conf. (includes N.Dame):13 (6-6)
Games versus other IA: 13 (10-3)
Games versus non-IA: 4 (4-0)
1 game remaining versus BCS conf. school

Florida: S.Miss[w],UCF[w],W.Carolina, Fla. St

Games versus non-IA: 7 (7-0)
3 games remaining versus BCS conf. schools
2 games remaining versus non-BCS conf. schools
1 game remaining versus non-IA school

All schools in the SEC scheduled at least 1 game with a team from a conference that gets an automatic spot in the BCS. 9 of the 10 schools in the PAC10 schedule a BCS conference school.

In head-to-head matchups this season, the SEC has won 3 games, while the Pac10 has won 1.

The lone win was by USC, the lone good team.
