Auburn football is coming off a huge 31-20 win against Ole Miss. Everything was firing on all cylinders for the Tigers and now they look to get one step closer to the SEC West title.
Auburn is coming into College Station with a 6-2 record. In a game where either team has to win to challenge Alabama to win the West, Auburn hopefully earns a rematch against Georgia for the SEC title.
Texas A&M began its season a little shaky. The Aggies now hold a 6-2 record just like Auburn, but only carry a 3-2 record in the West. Despite their big victory in beating Alabama, unlike Auburn, they do not have any other impressive wins. Beating teams like South Carolina and Missouri are not a great mark for success. Also losing against an Arkansas team that Auburn beat on the road isn’t great.
Road wins have not always loomed large for Bo Nix. It was a struggle early on this season. However, with victories at Arkansas and LSU, he looks to stay over that hump. The Tigers have not always played the Aggies well at their house but they are 4-0 at Kyle Field. Between that, and Nix being better and stronger each week, the favor tips in Auburn’s direction in Week 10.
We know the Auburn and Texas A&M media departments are already on their game. Now we await the big boys to put on a show for the fans of the greatest conference on earth.
Here are three bold predictions and three reasons why I think Auburn will show the Aggies who is boss in the SEC West.
