Georgia vs. Oklahoma St.

The 2007 opener will have Georgia taking on Oklahoma St. in Athens on Saturday September 1st. The two will play at Oklahoma St. in 2009. Georgia's hands were tied and basically forced them into this match up. Not a national power, but a program that has had some success in the recent past and is more than a formidable opponent. As a fan the next few years are going to include some exciting intersectional games. In the process the Dawgs will be racking up quite a few frequent flyer miles: @ Arizona St. in 2008, @ Oklahoma St. in 2009, and @ Colorado in 2010. But with the good comes the bad. At Georgia you'd like to think a National Championship is possible every year. Instead of playing the Western Kentucky's and Western Carolina's of the world, which lacks any excitement but is a gimmie win, we replace them with legitimate BCS schools that just adds to a brutal SEC schedule. You have to look no further than Texas this year to see how this type of scheduling can kill you. If Texas was to schedule lets say UAB instead of Ohio St., the Louisville/Rutgers game tonight would be a nice game but have no national implications because Texas would be making reservations for Glendale. I am looking forward to Oklahoma St. but I'm just dreading the possibility of one of these games holding Georgia back from something special. But then again nobody can say we're not Big Boy Football.
