All about the route...
I understand the desire to get to specific towns, but have to max out the time driving, due to the whole 20-cities-in-24-days thing. The route that's been suggested here keeps me almost always moving towards the next destination, while still hitting big football towns.
Cost-effective, theme-appropriate, and minimizes the drive time for the approximately 4000 miles I'll be driving during that time.
