Georgia targets marquee nonconference showdowns over venue, says Kirby Smart

Georgia coach Kirby Smart says the Bulldogs care more about the matchup than the location for big nonconference games, signaling openness to neutral-site games with future opponents like Clemson and Ohio State and noting that Florida State’s home-and-home was canceled with talks of a neutral game in 2028; Clemson’s 2029–2030 series could also shift to neutral sites. The shift toward nine SEC games impacts home-game counts, with Georgia’s Florida game moved to Atlanta this year due to Jacksonville renovations, and broader neutral-site options (Orlando, Nashville, etc.) under consideration as CFP schedule-strength concerns persist.
