Matchup: Alabama vs. Texas A&M
Network & Time: CBS; 3:30 EST
Projected Winner: Texas A&M
There’s no reason not to start with this matchup. It could possibly be the game of the year, with the #1 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide heading into Texas A&M to battle with OVO Johnny Manziel. Will ‘Bama get revenge? Will Manziel be able do it again? The storylines write themselves at this point, but they will all be settled on the field. Because of the Manziel factor and home field advantage, we’re going to give the early edge to A&M.
