🏈 Future OOC Games Scheduled for BAMA

[BamaFan615]

Can someone please help me out here: I'm trying to think of what out-of-conference games we have scheduled so far in the near future.

I know we have Michigan in Dallas next season for the opener, and I think I remember hearing rumblings of playing Michigan State at some point and maybe Va. Tech again in the Chic-fil-a Kickoff in Atlanta. I'm sure I am missing others, plus I can't remember which years these are scheduled for.

The out-of-conference games are great for National exposure and I love to see us playing teams like Penn State and Michigan next year. Thanks in advance.

We're playing Virginia Tech in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff game again for the 2013 opener. Also, Alabama will open the 2016 and 2017 seasons with a home and home against Michigan State with the first being played in Bryant-Denny Stadium and the . I may have missed one, if I did I'm sure someone else will remember. I do know that Saban has said on more than one occasion that he likes to have at least one nationally attractive out of conference game a year, and seeing as we've had one every year he's been head coach I'm sure something is in the works for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

Hope I helped answer your question!

That could end up being a nationally televised conference game to start that season...

Ha, I didn't even think about that. Good point.

Just as a random observation...one of the reasons I think the timing of A&M to the SEC is perfect has to do with their ongoing series with Arkansas. Now that game is nationally televised, in conference, and on top of that a long standing rivalry. Honestly, it'll finally give the 'Backs a legit in-conference rivalry that they've been looking for...to a degree, the same applies for LSU as well. It's akin to Auburn playing Bama and Georgia each year...or us playing Auburn and UT.
