Why should they travel outside of the south for the most part. The best competition and weather are right here, so why travel if not necessary. You don’t often see schools from the north come down south either, so it seems like you really don’t have much of a point to try and make. The SEC now has two schools outside of the deep south, in Missouri and Texas, to further rebut that point.

I thought SEC had the greatest athletes? What is the big deal? SEC schools are suppose to beat anyone since they rarely travel out of the south!

You might want to wait until after those games before ragging out on the SEC. If history serves me right, the SEC has a much higher winning percentage than the ACC does, in head to head competition. If not for a slip up by LSU in Atlanta, the ACC would have pretty much been shut out in head to head competition, almost like it is yearly when the two Florida and South Carolina schools meet.

Easy there scalpem. I’d be very surprised to see Georgia lose both those games. I’m a Clemson fan but have tremendous respect for Georgia and think it’s gonna be a really tough game. Plus anything can happen at the start of the season. Clemson barely edged out an auburn team that failed to meet even the lowest expectations of them last year and Georgia got dominated in their first real Sec test against South Carolina. You never know what’s gonna happen.

Should be a fun game, no matter what day it is played.

As long as both schools could get a waiver and start fall practice, with start dates adjusted accordingly, I think they would be OK with an earlier start date. I don’t think though, that to satisfy the TV networks, that they should have it on labor day and give UGA a short week to prepare for their conference opener. It really wouldn’t have much of an affect on Clemson since their second game is against a FCS school. but for UGA, it is an important game.
