<![CDATA[S&P+ look at Georgia’s 2019 schedule]]>Inspired by this exercise at Roll ‘Bama Roll, I thought I’d break down Georgia’s schedule on the basis of Bill Connelly’s just-released S&P+ preseason rankings. Here’s what you get:

@ Vanderbilt 53
Murray State [FCS]
Arkansas State 70
Notre Dame 12
@ Tennessee 21
South Carolina 18
Kentucky 37
v. Florida 6
Missouri 16
@ Auburn 8
Texas A&M 13
@ Georgia Tech 89

That works out to an average ranking of 31.18. Alabama’s schedule averages out to 38, if you’re wondering. (The difference is largely driven by the teams’ non-conference scheduling. They do share four common opponents – Tennessee, South Carolina, Auburn and TAMU.)

On paper, that is no walk in the park, particularly with regard to the lengthy stretch between the Arkansas State and Georgia Tech **snicker** games. Average ranking for those eight games? 16.38. That’s a pretty stern gauntlet to run. Kirby’s got his work cut out for him.
