I wrote on Wednesday how this is a must-win game for Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies, and I hold to that. Auburn Tigers at Texas A&M Aggies 11 a.m., ESPN Lose your second game in September, and the fourth game in the past three seasons to a former Saban assistant, and the narratives of the Bama dynasty crumbling will be full throat across the internet. Win, and the South Florida game a week ago feels like an aberration.
Jalen Milroe has been re-inserted as Bama’s starting QB, and this feels like a huge test to see just how down this Alabama team truly is. Primarily to me, that means I think it will be a close game, but national relevance also plays a factor. After seeing three SEC vs SEC games last week, 10 of the 14 teams in the SEC face a conference opponent this Saturday.Īnd because we have to rank everything these days, here is all of this weekend’s SEC games ranked in order of watchability (putting my fandom aside, obviously). Texas A&M is beginning SEC play against the Auburn Tigers this week, and the Aggies are not alone.
