Georgia: Sept. 9 @ Notre Dame

Georgia travels to South Bend, Ind. for the first time in school history to take on Notre Dame in week two of the 2017 season. At $499 for the cheapest ticket, Georgia/Notre Dame is the most expensive ticket of the college football season.

In the age of marquee matchups being played at neutral sites, there’s something special about two big-time programs playing a home-and-home series. College football is meant to be played on college campuses.

While the Fighting Irish did go 4-8 last season and missed a bowl game for the first time since 2009, it’s still Notre Dame, and a road game inside Notre Dame Stadium is never an easy task.

The last time these two teams met was in 1980. Georgia won 17-10, to claim their second national title in school history, and they haven’t won one since.

Honorable Mention: Nov. 25 @ Georgia Tech (9-4, 4-4 in ACC). Beat Georgia 28-27 in 2016.
