I’ve never spent a second of my life thinking about Georgia State, in college football or any other context. Apart from the Georgia recruiting angle, doesn’t totally make sense to me to schedule a no name team that evidently is on the rise. If they end up being good, they will still be a sort of no-name team, so any victory doesn’t register much but becomes that much more difficult to accomplish.
To me, any good team we play should have some sort of name or history that matters to the media and to recruits. But maybe these are the only schools saying yes to us. And maybe Georgia State won’t even be good.
ODU might be a similar comparison. But again, recruiting.
