NC State and Georgia agreed to a home-and-home football series back in 2021, with the first of those games set for 2033. This week they announced that they will not actually be playing those games, though you could have just assumed as much back in 2021. Why schools still bother scheduling theoretically like this as the sport continues to go through rapid changes is beyond me, but the agreements make for a nice press release, and maybe that’s the important thing.
NC State doesn’t have a lot of P4 non-conference games set at this point—Vanderbilt, Kansas State, Texas Tech, South Carolina—and some of those are likely more tenuous with the move to nine league games. State still has to trim a non-conference game from its 2027 and 2028 schedules, for one thing.
Maybe a benefit of the expanded league slate is fewer of these agreements being made in the first place, making everyone less inclined to go through the whole let’s-possibly-play-in-10-years-but-probably-not rigamarole.
In any case, Georgia obviously was not going to be ready for the spread triple-lateral offense NC State will be running in 2033.
