Just some quick thoughts: First, the UGA/USC game is no longer the first SEC game for each team. It has been moved to the middle of the season, so that's interesting. Likewise, the Florida game is usually our last conference game. It's shaping up to pretty much decide the Eastern division race by probably 10/27. Finally, we're going to need that open date on 11/3 after going through that four game stretch of UGA, LSU, UF, and UT.
All in all, I'm happy with this schedule, and I'll probably go to the LSU game as my one away game. Any other thoughts?
