Tale of the Tape: Texas A&M vs. No. 11 Alabama

Once again, it’s early in SEC play, and the Texas A&M-Alabama game is pivotal in the race for the SEC West crown.

The winner of Saturday’s contest essentially goes from being tied at the top of the standings at 2-0, to essentially having a two-game lead due to the tiebreaker rules.

Now, there’s a lot of football to be played. It’s not that simple to say, but the loser will find itself behind the proverbial eight-ball going forward in the division race.
