West Virginia vs Alabama in 2014

The 'Eers will play the Tide in the Jawja Dome, otherwise known as Bryant-Denny East.

Hopefully WVU sustains the current run they're on and it's a top 15 matchup

I saw something about that yesterday, but it was just a rumor. Good to see that it ended up being true.

2014 is a bit away, but then again I remember back when the WVU/Auburn series from 2008 and 2009 was announced and I thought that was far away then, so time flies...

The Big 12 and the SEC just need to partner up and have something similar to the Big East/ACC basketball deal. The top two football conferences need to play more anyway. All we get next year is Texas/Ole Miss and the Cotton Bowl.

PLEASE! No one fly to or from this game! Drive, for the love of all that is holy, DRIVE!

The Big 12's non-conference schedule is a complete joke.

According to ESPN

Big 12, SEC champs to play in bowl


The champions of the Big 12 and SEC conferences will meet in a New Year's Day bowl game annually beginning with the 2014 season, the conferences said Friday in a news release.

The five-year agreement calls for the champions of each conference to be in the matchup "unless one or both are selected to play in the new four-team model to determine the national championship," the statement said.

"Should that occur, another deserving team from the conference(s) would be selected for the game," the release said.


The style of the agreement will be similar to the one the Rose Bowl has with the Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences.

The site of this bowl game is still undetermined.
"A new January bowl tradition is born," SEC commissioner Mike Slive said in the statement. "This new game will provide a great matchup between the two most successful conferences in the BCS era and will complement the exciting postseason atmosphere created by the new four-team model.

"Most importantly, it will provide our student-athletes, coaches and fans with an outstanding bowl experience."
