There has been a long list of powerhouse college football games announced for future seasons — Oklahoma versus Nebraska, LSU taking on Clemson and Alabama against Notre Dame, just to name a few — all in beloved, traditional home-and-home series.

As exciting as the prospects of those contests are, many of those games are years (and years and even more years) away. The excitement of the marquee matchups is certainly tempered by the long waiting game fans have to play to see them. Regardless, it’s great to watch the best play the best more often.
