On the other hand, Georgia will play Mississippi Valley State on Nov. 12th to open the season. This is the Friday Night before the Auburn road game. MVSU had an RPI of roughly eleventy billion (ok...325th out of 347th). They play an up tempo style, but they stink.
As a point of reference our buddy ScenicCityDawg pointed out that former Dawg Drazen Zlovaric rained down 16 points of awesomeness on these guys two years ago in Athens as part of a 41 point victory. Uhh....that was 35% of his total points over his two year UGA career.
It's not an ideal RPI match-up, but it's Game 1, and everyone plays a few of these bottom feeders.

I would like to see us continue to play in big markets like NYC, Chicago, DC, and LA. I think that can only help our recruiting and program visibility.
The last trip to Chicago was a disaster. But I wouldn't mind seeing an actual home and home with Illinois or even Northwestern.
Syracuse doesn't like to play OOC road games, but I'd like to have a series with them. I also wouldn't mind seeing a series with UVA or Maryland.
They play at Mercer December 23rd...
Howabout a road trip to Macon to take on Mercer for a scheduling quirk?

You can add the road game at Mercer. Seems pretty confirmed
I like the Mercer idea. Instead of playing in an empty Steg on Dec. 23rd, play a "road game" against a team that will be happy to draw a crowd for the flagship university. It will add some energy to the game and give you some experience on the road. Although, after Orlando in Nov. this team should have all the experience it needs.
Now you can add Colorado!
