Georgia could cancel its future matchups with Ohio State
The Georgia Bulldogs are currently slated to play the Buckeyes in 2030 and 2031 in a home-and-home series. However, the Bulldogs just canceled their home-and-home with Clemson, meaning Ohio State could be next. This is now the fourth home-and-home future matchup the Bulldogs have canceled.
This is clearly a result of the SEC moving to nine games in the conference slate, and teams are scared to schedule tough opponents. While Ohio State is still looking to play quality opponents, other top programs are afraid that losing such a game could threaten their chances of making the College Football Playoff.
Next season, the Buckeyes are going to take on Alabama. It's highly unlikely that the home-and-home is canceled, as it is too close for them to make that call. However, the Bulldogs could pull the plug on this series and end up scheduling an FCS cupcake instead, as most other SEC programs do.
If the CFP expands to 24 teams, there could be a better incentive for teams to schedule big non-conference matchups as resumes get diluted in a bigger playoff field. Canceling this matchup would be a shame for both fan bases, who both love seeing games like this.
