After a pair of warm-up games, including one each against ranked opponents, Texas A&M and Auburn now get down to the nitty-gritty: conference play. The SEC opener will go a long way toward determining how this season goes for the Aggies and Tigers, who both need a 1-0 start in the conference since it doesn't get any easier after this.
A&M (2-0) is coming off a 67-0 home win over FCS school Prairie View A&M and an overtime victory against UCLA, rising three spots to 17th in the latest Associated Press poll. The Aggies are hoping to start 3-0 for the third consecutive season.
