Comments
This is a must-win for Texas A&M. A loss and they might not even make a bowl game. If they lose they’ll need to win three of their last four games to make a bowl. Three of those four games are Florida, Auburn, and LSU. Ole Miss finally met its match against LSU. I think playing in College Station the Rebels should still be the favorite. A&M has a decent defense but their offense is very mediocre.
