COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A coaching battle between Urban Meyer and Tom Herman will have to wait a few more years.

Ohio State and Texas have pushed their home-and-home series back from 2022-23 to 2025-26, the teams announced on Wednesday. The Longhorns will host the 2025 game, and Herman, should he and Meyer be in their respective jobs that long, will return to Columbus the following year.

Texas announced on Wednesday that it will now play Alabama in 2022 and 2023.

The Buckeyes also finished their schedules for 2020 and 2021. OSU will host Bowling Green to begin the 2020 season, and the Buckeyes will welcome Akron in 2021.

They were originally scheduled to play both Texas and Notre Dame in 2022 and 2023. The Buckeyes and Fighting Irish will still meet in 2022 and 2023, with OSU hosting the first of the two meetings.

The Texas change could call into question the status of the future Ohio State vs. Washington series. The Buckeyes and Huskies will play in Washington in 2024, but then meet in Columbus the following year -- meaning the Buckeyes are scheduled to play Washington and Texas in 2025. If Ohio State doesn't want to run into a situation similar to what it would have had by playing Texas and Notre Dame in the same year, the series against Washington could also either be moved back or reduced to a one-game meeting.

An original two-game, home-and-home series against TCU in 2018 and 2019 was reduced to one neutral site game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas in 2018.
