FCS Alabama A&M at Auburn (Saturday/7:30 pm)

Auburn’s loss last weekend at Georgia eliminated any possibility of stealing away the SEC West from rival Alabama. The Tigers have nevertheless been one of the better teams in the country this year, with a top-ten rushing attack and a defense that gives up fewer than 16 points per outing. They will be missing several key parts, including leading running back Kamryn Pettway and defensive end Byron Cowart. But even with a depleted roster, there is nothing about Alabama A&M that is likely to cause any alarm on the Plains.

The Bulldogs from the FCS are already guaranteed a sub-.500 finish to their season. Alabama A&M has given up an average of 11 points more per game than they score, and after opening the season with a 55-0 loss at Middle Tennessee they could be looking at bookending their season with another shutout defeat. Merely keeping the score within two touchdowns would be an upset for this Bulldogs team.
