🏈 If Alabama could have a permanent non-conference rivalry with one team, who would it be?

Question posed by Saturday Down South.

Some commenters said: USC, Notre Dame, Penn State, Florida State.

SDS says Ohio State.

What do you think?

Georgia Tech would be my choice.

 

[MissingRing]

Very hard for me to choose just one, but, Notre Dame.

 

[ElephantStomp]

Either USC, Oklahoma, or Notre Dame.

@TerryP Why Ga Tech? I hadn't thought of them

Old rivalry before they left the SEC. Regional game makes it easy for both fan bases. Another in road into the states recruiting base...

back in the day. Bama and Ga. Tech had a big rivalry. Take a look at one of coach Bryant picture coming out after halftime. He wearing a helmet. i just can't find the photo.

Penn State

We have played Oklahoma, USC, Nebraska, Notr dame and Penn St. in home and homes over the years. I would like to see a series with Ohio St.

I would like to see a game with a team that's known for a good away game experience and atmosphere. Say a Texas or Oregon, maybe even a Michigan. Something where our students and fan base can go and cross off a bucket list bullet point.

Penn State. Those fans were so nice to us when we visited a couple of years ago. Beautiful area of the country as well.

 

[doemasters]

I would go with Oklahoma

The Buckeyes need some competition on their schedule. Has anyone looked at their schedule this year? Talk about weak.....

I think that's just about every year for them.

I echo the others and would like Bama to get Penn State back on the schedule. If that couldn't be worked out, I'd then hope we could get USC.

i'd like for it to be either Penn State or Michigan.

every fan i've ever met from those 2 places has always been so nice. and i think the respect is across the board at all 3 schools with regards to the others.

plus, i've always wanted to go to a game at The Big House.

 

[jdpas29]

oklahoma.. just bc we need to catch up on the record.

 

[TerryP]

A lot of these games I'd like to see but ONLY IF we could do them at a neutral site each season.

What benefit do we get from traveling to Oklahoma? Or Ohio State? Penn State?

 

[doemasters]

well if it was home and home i would like USC

 

[bamaraider]

Penn State.

 

[psychojoe]

Penn State.

 

[bama4life]

Texas.
