There are several big games across the SEC this season, and plenty will have a say in the national championship picture. But of those matchups, 1 stands out from a national perspective.
ESPN broadcaster Kirk Herbstreit names is the Alabama at Texas A&M game, and even labeled it a “Must-See Game” during his annual show called the “Herbie Awards.”
Alabama has won 8 straight in the overall series, and leads all-time 11-2.
Alabama travels to College Station, Texas, on Oct. 9, and it has beaten the Aggies 4 times at Kyle Field since the program joined the SEC in 2012. The last Aggies win overall in the series was 2012 in Tuscaloosa, 29-24.
The only other win in the series for the Aggies was in 1968 at the Cotton Bowl, a 20-16 decision.
The game @KirkHerbstreit is most looking forward to this season … Bama vs. Texas A&M.
