The Aggies and Crimson Tide simply can’t lose. After both teams upended SEC East foe Tennessee the past two weeks, the West’s top two teams will meet for a division showdown in Tuscaloosa on Saturday afternoon.

Still, aside from the Texas A&M and Alabama bout, there are plenty of games to be excited for this weekend.

As you prepare for Week 8, here is what you need to know about every SEC West opponent:

TEXAS A&M (AT ALABAMA)

Texas A&M 2016 PPG:  40.2
Texas A&M 2016 PPG allowed: 19.2

Strength: It all starts with quarterback Trevor Knight, who has not only passed for 1,500 yards and 9 touchdowns, but also run for 502 yards and another 9 TDs on the ground. Even though the Oklahoma transfer leads the offense behind center, the Aggies have plenty of other weapons at their disposal, especially on the ground, where Trayveon Williams and Keith Ford have been a pain in the side of opposing defenses all season long.

Must stop: Knight might be the biggest game-changer, but Williams (82 carries, 704 rushing yards, 5 TDs) and Ford (49 carries, 242 yards, 3 TDs) are both dangerous in the backfield. When Knight does drop back to pass, Josh Reynolds (25 receptions, 488 yards) and Christian Kirk (40 receptions, 352 yards) are his favorite targets. Both have hauled in four touchdown catches, and each receiver possesses big-play capabilities. Reynolds has gone for a 92-yard score, while Kirk’s longest reception resulted in a 64-yard touchdown.

Notable:  Even though the Aggies will enter Tuscaloosa with a perfect 6-0 mark, they’ll be big-time underdogs against the Crimson Tide. Alabama enters Saturday as 17-point favorites after defeating Texas A&M the past three seasons. The last time the Aggies upended Alabama came in 2012, when Johnny Manziel led A&M to a dramatic 29-24 victory in Tuscaloosa.

AUBURN (VS. ARKANSAS)

Auburn 2016 PPG: 32.3
Auburn 2016 PPG allowed: 16.0

Strength: In this day and age, it’s rare for teams to showcase a run-first offense. However, that is exactly what Auburn will try to do against Arkansas on Saturday. Even though the numbers are relatively close — the Tigers have passed for 1,298 yards and rushed for 1,577 more — Auburn clearly prefers to keep the ball on the ground. Overall, the team has had 328 rushing plays compared to just 150 passing attempts. Leading the ground game is Kerryon Johnson and Kamryn Pettway, who have already both recorded more than 500 rushing yards and have combined for 10 touchdowns on the ground.

Must stop: When Johnson (105 carries, 538 yards, 6 touchdowns) and Pettway (91 carries, 505 yards, 4 touchdowns) aren’t carrying the load, expect quarterback Sean White to lead the offense from behind center. Before the Tigers had a bye last week, White completed 14-of-18 pass attempts for 204 yards and a score when Auburn met Mississippi State on Oct. 8. The sophomore signal-caller has a variety of receivers which he can find, though Tony Stevens (24 receptions, 408 yards, 3 TDs) has made the biggest impact for the Tigers out wide.

Notable: A year ago, these two SEC West rivals played in one of the most entertaining games of the entire 2015 SEC slate. Even though the Razorbacks pulled out a win in that one, the Tigers earned lopsided victories in the two previous meetings.

ARKANSAS (AT AUBURN)

Arkansas 2016 PPG: 35.9
Arkansas 2016 PPG allowed: 27.4

Strength: When they’re at their best, the Razorbacks are going to run the football. That is what they hope to do every game as sophomore running back Rawleigh Williams III provides the team with a durable back who can ground and pound against nearly any opponent. Williams (140 carries, 785 yards, 5 TDs) has been an integral part of any success the Hogs have had this season, though first-year quarterback Austin Allen is another weapon all on his own.

Must stop: As dangerous as Williams is, the Razorbacks make sure opposing defenses can’t load the box. Allen has been the key for that as he has already thrown for 1,861 yards and 18 touchdowns compared to just six interceptions thus far. When Arkansas isn’t handing the ball off, Allen has a plethora of receivers to work with. Jared Cornelius has already caught four touchdowns 22 receptions and 448 yards, but Drew Morgan (37 receptions, 378 yards, 2 TDs) and Keon Hatcher (21 receptions, 354 yards, 5 TDs) are both capable of putting up big numbers any Saturday.

Notable: The Razorbacks have struggled against Auburn in recent years as the Tigers won 35-17 in Fayetteville in 2013 before pulling out a 45-21 victory in Auburn one year later. However, last season, Arkansas escaped with a 54-46 quadruple-overtime win over its rival in Fayetteville.

KENTUCKY (VS. MISSISSIPPI STATE)

Kentucky 2016 PPG: 24.5
Kentucky 2016 PPG allowed: 31.3

Strength: Amazingly, despite allowing its opponents to nearly outscore them by a touchdown per game, the Wildcats still enter Week 8 with a 3-3 record. Simply put, Kentucky has found ways to win games. Its passing game has been subpar — quarterbacks Stephen Johnson and Drew Barker have combined to throw seven touchdowns and seven interceptions — which can make it tough if opposing defenses decide to attack the run. That is the smart play though, as the Wildcats have run the ball 120 more times than they’ve dropped back to pass. Stanley Williams and Benjamin Snell Jr. anchor the entire offense, while Jojo Kemp has also contributed out of the backfield.

Must stop: With 76 carries, Williams has been the workhorse for Kentucky through its first six games. He averages 7.1 yards per carry and has recorded a team-high 540 rushing yards, though it has been Snell who has routinely found the end zone for the Wildcats. Even though his rushes (61) and yards (341) are less than Williams’, Snell has run for five touchdowns thus far.

When Kentucky does drop back to pass, Garrett Johnson (19 receptions, 259 yards, 2 TDs) and Jeff Badet (10 receptions, 253 yards, 1 TD) have been the go-to receivers. Interestingly enough, C.J. Conrad has hauled in a team-high three touchdown receptions despite only catching 12 passes so far.

Notable: Even though the Bulldogs and Wildcats’ all-time series is almost tied — Mississippi State holds a 22-21 advantage in 43 meetings — Kentucky has lost seven in a row. The last time the Wildcats came out on top against the Bulldogs was when they earned a 14-13 win in Starkville back in 2008.

OLE MISS (AT LSU)

Ole Miss 2016 PPG: 39.7
Ole Miss 2016 PPG allowed: 30.3

Strength: Forget about their loss at Arkansas last week, the Rebels remain one of the best teams in the West behind Alabama. With Chad Kelly at quarterback, Ole Miss has utilized its passing game to manufacture 16 touchdowns and 1,920 yards. Kelly has been the key to those numbers, throwing for 1,849 yards and 14 touchdowns compared to just 5 interceptions. Even though Ole Miss has relied on running backs Akeem Judd and Eugene Brazley to lead the running game, Kelly has been equally dangerous with his feet.

Must stop: When he isn’t passing, Kelly has run for 213 yards and 3 TDs on 52 carries. Although Judd (343 yards, 3 TDs) and Brazley (201 yards, 2 TDs) are the featured backs, Kelly isn’t afraid to take off and pick up yards in bunches. But the Tigers shouldn’t be solely focused on what the Ole Miss signal-caller can do with his legs as he’s utilized a talented group of pass-catchers to thwart defenses throughout the season. Tight end Evan Engram (37 receptions, 590 yards, 5 TDs) has made the biggest impact, though Damore’ea Stringfellow (22 receptions, 331 yards, 2 TDs) and Van Jefferson (22 receptions, 260 yards, 1 TD) are both dangerous. In all, 13 different players have hauled in passes this season, so LSU will have to be ready for anything on Saturday.

Notable: The home team has won the past four matchups, which doesn’t bode well for the visiting Rebels. Even if recent history isn’t necessarily on the side of Ole Miss, it did earn a dominating 38-17 victory over the Tigers in Oxford last season.

LSU (VS. OLE MISS)

LSU 2016 PPG: 28.5
LSU 2016 PPG allowed: 14.0

Strength: Even though running back Leonard Fournette — who entered this season as a widespread favorite to win the Heisman Trophy — hasn’t played since the Tigers visited Auburn on Sept. 24, LSU has still presented itself as a run-first team. Derrius Guice has taken over in Fournette’s absence, rushing for 564 yards and 6 touchdowns on 62 carries. The Tigers pride themselves on establishing the line of scrimmage, but interim coach Ed Orgeron has also allowed the LSU offense to throw the ball around since he replaced Les Miles after that tough loss at Auburn.

Must stop: In addition to Guice, who will likely remain a focal point of the offense despite Fournette returning this weekend, quarterback Danny Etling has thrown for 925 yards and 6 scores this season. The signal-caller’s favorite target is Malachi Dupre, who has caught 18 receptions for 236 yards and 2 touchdowns. D.J. Chark has also hauled in two touchdown passes as well as 224 yards on 13 catches. As dangerous as the offense can be, it’s the Tigers’ defense which can stifle any opponent.

Notable: Last year wasn’t pretty, but LSU has won four of the last six against Ole Miss. The Tigers upended the Rebels 10-7 in a hard-fought battle at Tiger Stadium in 2014, and before that, it pulled out victories of 41-35, 52-3 and 43-36 victories over that span.

ALABAMA (AT TEXAS A&M)

Alabama 2016 PPG:  45.4
Alabama 2016 PPG allowed: 15.0

Strength: The better question is what areas are the Crimson Tide not strong? Through seven games, Alabama has shown it can dominate every facet of the game. Whether Alabama is dropping back to pass with Jalen Hurts (113-of-178, 1,385 passing yards, 9 TDs) or handing it off to running back Damien Harris (69 carries, 572 yards, 1 TD), the offense has moved fluidly. Though, where Hurts may make his biggest impact is on the ground as the dual-threat quarterback has already run for 428 yards and 8 touchdowns on 74 rushes. As good as the Tide quarterbacks have been since Nick Saban’s arrival, none have been able to use their feet quite like Hurts.

Must stop: Hurts should be the No. 1 objective for any opposing defensive coordinator, but he also has numerous receivers who can cause headaches for any defense. Calvin Ridley leads the way with 39 receptions for 477 yards and 4 scores, while ArDarius Stewart (26 receptions, 379 yards, 3 TDs) can also make an impact. Inside the red zone, tight end O.J. Howard (14 receptions, 209 yards, 1 TD) can also be a difference-maker.

Notable: The Tide enter Saturday as 17-point favorites, which, if you consider the two teams’ spot in the rankings — Alabama is No. 1 and Texas A&M is No. 6 — it may seem like a stretch. But the Crimson Tide hasn’t lost to the Aggies since 2012, and they steamrolled A&M 41-23 last year and 59-0 in 2014.
