Alabama is in talks to hold home-and-home series with two college football powers at some point in the future, The Tuscaloosa News reported Saturday.
According to The News' article, the Crimson Tide is trying to hammer out deals with Notre Dame and Texas -- two of the teams Alabama defeated to win national titles during the Nick Saban dynasty years.
Alabama last played a home-and-home series against a non-conference opponent in 2010 and 2011, when Penn State came to Tuscaloosa and Alabama visited State College, Pa. in consecutive years.
The Tide has opened the season against high-profile programs at neutral sites the last six seasons.
