Two of the most consistently solid Pac-12 and SEC football teams have agreed to a future home-and-home series scheduled a decade from now.
According to ESPN, UCLA and Georgia will play in Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium in 2025 and Athens' Sanford Stadium in 2026. Georgia is now the third SEC team UCLA is scheduled to play throughout the next 10 years.
UCLA will play Texas A&M in 2016 and 2017 and LSU in 2021 and 2024. In a statement on the team's website, UCLA also announced home-and-home series with Cincinnati for 2018 and 2019. UCLA also announced a one-time matchup with Southern Alabama in 2022.
The announcement of future non-conference games will tentatively keep UCLA among three Football Bowl Subdivision teams to have never played a team from the Football Championship Subdivision.
Georgia is 2-0 against UCLA, beating them 9-0 at the Rose Bowl in 1943 and 19-8 in Sanford Stadium in 1983.
