Texas A&M vs. The Texas winner will face Georgia in the SEC title game

Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2) made Alabama feel as low as possible after losing to Auburn in quadruple overtime in one of the more heartbreaking losses of the last ten seasons.

After holding a 31-28 lead late in regulation after coming back from a 21-0 deficit, A&M’s defense allowed Auburn QB Payton Thorne to march down the field, leading to the game-tying field goal. Trading touchdowns and two field goals, the Tigers stopped the Aggies on the two-point attempt in the fourth OT session, ending the game.

While many of us, beyond those who paid close attention to Alabama’s games against Oklahoma, didn’t think the Aggies had a chance to clinch the SEC title with a loss to the Tigers, Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger confirmed Alabama’s loss to the Sooners pushes Georgia into the Championship game, while the winner of the regular season finale between Texas A&M and Texas will decide the title.

Texas took care of business Kentucky at home, defeating the Wildcats 31-14. The Aggies’ first-half struggles are concerning, but they may be an example of a single game due to playing on the road in a tough environment.

But being able to return to Kyle Field in front of a sold-out crowd doesn’t help this A&M team start fast and finish the job, the Aggies are headed for another 8-4 finish and meaningless bowl game while the Longhorns compete for an SEC championship and a second consecutive CFP berth.
