Looking ahead to next season, one glance at the Bulldogs’ schedule- Will this have an effect on their chance for a run at the national Championship?
The campaign opens with Austin Peay, an FCS program, followed by non-conference foes Middle Tennessee State on 9/15 and Massachusetts on 11/17—both of which were also part of the FCS/Division I-AA not too terribly long ago—and, finally on 11/24, of course, Georgia Tech. As far as conference foes, the Bulldogs do travel to LSU in mid-October, and September road dates at South Carolina and Missouri won’t be any picnic. However, the lone team Georgia faces which has consistently appeared in the top 15 or so of the “way-to-early” preseason rankings which are beginning to surface—Auburn—will be hosted in Athens.
