The Georgia Southern 2024 football schedule ranks as the second-hardest in the Sun Belt by CFN’s Strength of Schedule, fuelled by two out-of-conference clashes. The Eagles open against the Mountain West reigning champion Boise State Broncos, then face a road trip to an Ole Miss Rebels side expected to compete in the SEC in Week 4.
In between those two games are winnable encounters with the SC State Bulldogs and Nevada Wolf Pack, but at the very best, the Eagles will likely enter Sun Belt play with a 2-2 record. The conference element of the Georgia Southern 2024 football schedule begins in Week 5 with a trip to the Georgia State Panthers. The Eagles haven’t won in Atlanta since 2018.
It doesn’t get much better from there on out. The Georgia Southern 2024 football schedule features several programs that have been consistent contenders at the top of the conference. In addition to Georgia State, they’ll play on the road at the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers and South Alabama Jaguars. A Thursday night clash with Old Dominion completes their road slate.
