Georgia football 2025 schedule: 3 takeaways as Bulldgs get monster home schedule
ATHENS — Moments after winning the SEC Championship, Kirby Smart took the microphone to note just how difficult the Georgia schedule was this past season.

Thanks for the schedule. Spell check the title please!
looks like the league office is once again trying their best to help Texas. We all knew the schedules would be reversed. But giving Texas a bye week before their only “tough” game?
For the fans, I think this is obviously a great schedule, but for the team and the rest of the teams in the conference, I think it’s lazy on the conference schedulers to just flip this year’s. As we’ve seen with cfp, one of the biggest complaints is not giving appropriate consideration to SOS. That applies to in-conference as well as OOC. A way to fix it is balanced scheduling, and the way to have balanced scheduling is to have divisions. It would be very easy to divide the conference with equal sides. Sure there may be years where one side is more complete than the other, but generally, they’d be pretty even. It doesn’t fix the issue of not playing aTm in Athens, for example, but to me that’s secondary. The B1G should do it as well. Then Indiana would be in its proper place.
Well. When else would they take it?
Brooksie, you said just what I was thinking virtually word for word.
How did Texas walk in and become the darling of the SEC overnight?
With an 8 game schedule in a 16 team league, each team would only be paying one interdivisional game every year. The divisions would effectively be different conferences.
I don't see any real value in playing the likes of Marshall, Austin Peay, and Charlotte. Good grief. Remember, we played so poorly against Tennessee Tech that those rookies didn't get much playing time, and we got a key injury in that game. It's hard for players to get motivated to play these teams, and the risk is definitely not worth the reward. Once and for all, let's get rid of at least 1 or 2 of these games.
If I was a season ticket holder with those 3 Home games, I would not be happy.
We really need to work to fire the Bamaman Sankey and move the SEC HQ out of Birmingham. Anywhere but Alabama. The SEC HQ is just the operations center for the Crimson Tide. That is how they get over with officiating every game, every year. That is how their schedule magically is optimized for their success. Enough already! Sankey needs to go. His behavior at the SEC championship is flat unacceptable. Was he drunk? Or just obnoxious and disrespectful. Good on KS for outing him!
Ugh. Why does the SEC office hate UGA so? It is almost as if they don't want UGA to surpass Alabama, Florida and LSU as the dominant programs in the conference.
They did announce last year that the SEC teams would play the same schedule but flip the home/away. Only the dates might swap in some cases. Not sure why Texas got such a soft deal their first two years though.
"Yet in the later parts of the season, that win didn’t seem to carry much weight. Georgia had a two in the loss column compared to Notre Dame and Penn State having just a single loss."
Again people. This is because in the 150 year of college football and through all eras - poll era with national champions chosen before bowls based largely on margin of victory (in protest of which was part of the motivation for John Heisman running up the score 222-0 against Cumberland College at Georgia Tech), national champions chosen after bowls, Bowl Alliance Era, BCS era, 4 team playoff era - losses have always been the main factor in ranking teams. Everything else has always been a tie-breaker to choose among teams with the same number of losses. Expecting the playoff committee to junk this the single year that it would help Georgia for the sole reason of helping Georgia makes no sense.
Bulldgs 😂
