You walk into every major college football powerhouse and take their keys so they know whose their real daddy!
6 points in overtime is a large deficit vs. Alabama!?
Every national championship winning team in the college football playoff era had at least one fluky loss.
First, you said "Week 4: at Alabama (white jerseys) W 30-24 (OT) (Overcomes 17 point deficit to end losing streak to long nemesis)"
I think most would agree being down by 17 is a large deficit. Being ahead, by definition, is not a deficit so the margin of victory was not at question
Second, you said "custom dream schedule" so why on Earth would you build your dream schedule based on the champion the last 4 years having one loss? It is your "custom dream schedule" so feel free to use your imagination.
My "custom dream schedule" would not have Kennesaw St, would not have any losses (especially not at home to one of our biggest rivals), would not have us barely beat a middling USCe team, and would not have us down by 17 at any point vs anyone.
I get it, it is your dream schedule and not mine. But you dream about UGA beating Kennesaw St and losing to Auburn?
I apologize for the misread. I stand by as corrected by you. You meant "deficit" instead of "margin" gotcha. The reason I made Georgia's games close is because a lot of national championship teams (especially the ones who only win once in several decades) have a lot of magically close nail biters or a lot of games decided by 7 or less. Look at 1980 Georgia, 1998 Tennessee, 2010 Auburn, or 2016 Clemson. Their season openers (or week 2 games) were nail biters against poor teams. It happens. Look at 2002 Georgia who finished 13-1, they narrowly escaped mediocre Clemson and South Carolina teams to start the season and they got better as the season went on. Any UGA fan knows South Carolina always plays us tough regardless of their record, especially when the game is in Columbia which is a brutal place to play for the dawgs. I want it to be exciting with crazy plays that helped us take the victory. Not boring blowouts like any fan of any team wishes. As a fan making this custom schedule I'm more opened minded and realistic about my predictions.
As for overcoming the deficit against Alabama, 2014 Ohio State and 2016 Clemson trailed by 14 against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl or national championship and they ended up coming from behind and winning and they won the national title those years. 2010 Auburn came back down from 24 in Tuscaloosa and won by 1 point. 2013 Florida State trailed Auburn and had to come back and win. BTW, I need to edit the schedule because I left out a regular season home game, there should be 12 games on the regular schedule and not 11. 13 weeks overall and not 12. I would have picked Georgia Southern for that one, and Kennesaw State is my college and their football program is very young, so I chose that one on purpose.
@mqg96 I appreciate the explanation. I understand, even if I disagree with parts. And I totally get the Kennesaw St part now and can dig that
Why is the phrase "home and home" used to describe a schedule where we play at "my house this year and your house next year?"
Why not "home and away?"
I loved philosophy in school. This is one of those "Hmmm" things for me. Maybe it's like the difference between a double pincer movement and an envelopment?
Both play at home. k?
Someone once said he didn't understand the expression, "throwing the baby out with the bath water" A good man always knows his limitations.

Navy...hadn’t thought of that. That would be a cool series.
Yeah, another triple option team. Just what we need.
Agreed. Yeah... No offense to navy, but an away game at navy seems a little underachieving.
But good hip flex.
We all have the same schools more or less: OSU, USC, Michigan, Miami, Fl State, and Clemson. Just to be different, I’d add: Texas (would help recruiting and be a fun trip), California (another fun trip), and UNC (helps recruitment and not too far away).
I wouldn't mind a Virginia Tech home and home or West Virginia both are good teams, good programs, and beatable.
