The 15th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies (8-2, 5-1 SEC) will face the Auburn Tigers (4-6, 1-5 SEC) at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Alabama. . Texas A&M must win to earn the SEC title and a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Through 13 weeks of football, Mike Elko has put A&M atop the SEC rankings with two games left in the regular season. A win over the Tigers on Saturday night will surely set up this week’s game on Nov. 30, when Texas comes to Kyle Field. However, a night game at Auburn could pose problems for any team.
Auburn also had a blowout 48-14 victory over ULM, with quarterback Peyton Thorne scoring five touchdowns. Three of those points came from WR Cam Coleman, the Aggies’ one-time commit in their biggest game of the season. If he can find the run game, he could make some big plays against this A&M defense.

Texas A&M vs. Auburn predictions, selections
Texas A&M will face a good defense on the road, but the running game will need to go along if it wants to secure a win Saturday night. I’m not confident that the A&M offense can reach 30 points after just losing to South Carolina and playing a good game against New Mexico State. But I believe the defense will make enough stops for the Aggies to win a close game.
Prediction: Texas A&M 27 – Auburn 24
