Alabama and West Virginia mutually agreed to cancel their home-and-home series that had been scheduled for 2026 and 2027, the schools announced Tuesday. Alabama said it was making adjustments to its nonconference schedule in response to last week's announcement that the Southeastern Conference would go from playing eight to nine league games starting in 2026. West Virginia said it wanted to align with the scheduling philosophy followed by many teams contending for a College Football Playoff berth.
