Analysis: The Bulldogs' opponents' average wins is in the top half, and is usually above the national average. Their BCS opponents are usually solid, with a few below average ones thrown in, while their non-BCS opponents are the opposite - below average with a few solid ones thrown in. Their usual schedule is Georgia Tech, a BCS team or above average non-BCS team, and a couple below average non-BCS or I-AA teams.

Fact: The rivalry with Georgia Tech helps Georgia's rankings out big-time, keeping them from the very bottom. The Yellow Jackets are BCS, play half the games in Atlanta, have averaged 7.2 wins over the BCS era, account for 5 of Georgia's 9 teams with a 10+win season, and account for 10 of Georgia's 17 opponents who have earned coach's votes.

Fact: A lot has been made of Georgia's not traveling to non-conf games staying in the south since 1960-something. That trend was almost perfected in the BCS era - though they've traveled 60 miles or so to face rival Georgia Tech five times, the only other non-conf road trip they've taken was 60 miles or so to Clemson in 2003.

2008 Outlook: The rivalry is at home this year, along with the first long trip - @ Arizona State, which should be tough. Central Michigan and I-AA Georgia Southern round out the home dates, making this schedule about average for 2008.
