Q. This is Georgia's last SEC game. You have two more conference rival games after this. Having gone through his twice now, are you comfortable with the structure of your schedule or would you want a bye or a conference bye later in the year? Steve Sarkisian: "I am not comfortable. I don't think there's enough continuity from a scheduling standpoint in the SEC. I understand with us being new to the conference and how schedules get set earlier, years in advance. I think there's some distinct advantages that some people have where they spread out their non-conference games throughout the season, they play non-conference games in the second-to-last game of the season and we're playing all ours on the front end. They're playing conference games earlier in the year when their team is 100% healthy. I don't love our schedule, but it's our schedule. So I do love it in the same breath because it is what it is. You play the schedule. You play the hand your dealt. But I just don't think there's a lot of parody from a scheduling standpoint of who's getting non-conference games when and who's getting what level of non-conference opponents because of the impact that it has down the road when you start talking about the playoffs."
