“We’re at a different spot, too, and we have to understand that people are going to play really well against us right now. We’re in first place in the SEC; we’re in the top 15 in the country.” “We just got to understand what all that is about.”According to ESPN, FPI are the latest predictions for A&M’s Week 13 road test against Auburn and the season finale vs. Texas.
Predicting Texas A&M’s 2 remaining football games ahead of Week 13 per ESPN FPI
Here is how ESPN predicts the Aggies final two games of the regular season
Texas A&M (8-2, 5-1 SEC) will travel to Alabama on Saturday night to face the Auburn Tigers (4-6, 1-5 SEC). This game is a trap game by every definition, as the Aggies need to win to advance to the SEC Title game.
Starting at No. 15 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, A&M’s trajectory is simple: win, and you’re in. However, the Aggies’ last SEC road game against South Carolina resulted in a 44-20 loss to the Gamecocks, but let’s remember that the Tigers are currently 1-5 in SEC play.
After defeating New Mexico State 38-3 in Week 12, head coach Mike Elko made a slip of the tongue when stating that the Aggies are focused on Auburn (accidentally saying Texas), but don’t let that distract you from his previous quote regarding the focus his team has, knowing that every snap now matters more than ever.
