UCF has finalized an agreement to play Penn State in Ireland in 2014, a source with knowledge of the deal told the Sentinel.

Organizers will make an official announcement with details about the game on Sunday, the source said. The game will be played at Croke Park in Dublin.

Pending the approval from the Pac-12, Utah and BYU will play in 2017 and 2018, Utah athletic director Chris Hill said via a youtube announcement on Tuesday.

The teams won't play each other in 2014 and 2015 when the Utes are scheduled to play Michigan.

Hill has expressed concern in the past about over-scheduling the Utes now that they are in the Pac-12, but obviously Tuesday's announcement is proof Hill has a genuine interest in maintaining the series.

TheScore.ie understands that talks are underway to host games in 2014, 2016 and 2018 with high-profile teams such as Penn State, Notre Dame and even reigning national champions Alabama thought to be amongst those interested in playing here.

With regards the other games, while last weekend’s Sunday Times reported that Notre Dame – who played Navy in 2012’s Emerald Isle Classic – were being lined up for a return in 2016, TheScore.ie understands that no team has been officially approached for either the 2016 or 2018 dates.

However, given their links with this country, the Fighting Irish, as well as the likes of Alabama and Boston College, are all being considered.

Additionally, while some outlets have speculated that Croke Park could even host a prestigious NCAA Bowl Game, it is thought that the venue is more likely to attract regular season games than end-of-season showcases.
