College football blue bloods Ohio State and Alabama announced a home-and-home series earlier this week, set to take place in 2027 and 2028.
The first clash will occur in Columbus and the Buckeyes will return the favor with a trip to Tuscaloosa the following season.
The agreement creates an avenue for the two programs to meet in each team's home stadium, a first in the brief history among two of college football's upper crust.
Ohio State and Alabama have met just four times with the Buckeyes on the wrong end in three. Of course, the lone win was one of Ohio State's most important of all-time as the Buckeyes beat the Crimson Tide in the 2015 Sugar Bowl on the way to the national title.
