As fun as it sounded on paper, Alabama will not be playing Notre Dame in 2020.
On Saturday Alabama’s athletic director Greg Byrne took to Twitter to end any speculation and reports about the possible Week 1 matchup.
Byrne responded to a tweet from a radio interview with Peach Bowl CEO Gary Stokan on 97.7 fm with Thom Abraham.
“Gary Stoken of the Chic Fil A Kickoff Classic said on the show that Notre Dame has been floated as a week one opponent for Alabama in South Bend, Tuscaloosa or Dallas…and there is a scenario that Virginia-Va Tech play in Atlanta if ACC/SEC goes “Conference +1” schedule,” read the tweet.
