Texas A&M and Clemson will meet in 2018 and 2019, the schools announced Thursday night.
Clemson replaces Oregon on the Aggies' non-conference schedule. According to Fox Sports' Bruce Feldman, Texas A&M exercised a clause in its 2009 agreement with Oregon which allowed it to back out of the deal if the Aggies changed conferences.
"We are excited to play the Clemson Tigers, who have been on Texas A&M's non-conference schedule previously," Texas A&M athletic director Eric Hyman said in a statement. "As a fellow land-grant institution, Clemson is very similar to Texas A&M with a great football tradition and passionate fans. This will be a great non-conference series for both schools."
The first game of the series will be in College Station on Sept. 8, 2018, with the Aggies visiting Death Valley on Sept. 7, 2019.
"We are looking forward to playing Texas A&M as the two schools share a rich military heritage and of course passionate fan bases," Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich said. "We know our fans make Clemson a great game day experience and the Aggie fans make Kyle Field also one of the great venues in all of college football."
According to Fox Sports, Oregon is now looking for a high-profile opponent to fill Texas A&M's spot on the 2018 and 2019 schedule.
