The Aggies (8-2, 5-1 Southeastern Conference, No. 15 CFP) enter the game among league teams in the mix for the playoffs and the SEC Championship Game.
JOHN ZENOR Associated Press It would be easy for Texas A&M to overlook slumping Auburn. Even coach Mike Elko had a verbal slip when talking about the Aggies' focus on Saturday's game with the Tigers.“I don't think it's an issue," Elko said."When you’re in the situation we’re in, it’s easy to focus on the task at hand. You know, I think those big games earlier in the year, maybe you look ahead. And if we didn’t have what’s at stake, maybe you would worry about it.

We’re in the playoff hunt. That creates something, when you go into another team’s stadium, that we haven’t dealt with in a while.”The season has left the Tigers with only modest ambitions still within reach. They have to beat Texas A&M and No. 7 Alabama to become bowl eligible.
Texas A&M's Marcel Reed is 4-1 as a starter and a threat to both run and pass. He ran for three second-half touchdowns in an upset at LSU.
