Texas A&M (6-0) at Alabama (7-0)

When: October 22nd, 2016

Time: 3:30pm

TV: CBS

We had discussed this last weekend when Tennessee was going up against the Crimson Tide, but it applies even more here. One of the worst things that could happen to Louisville is if someone other than Alabama makes it into the SEC Championship or if another one loss team wins the conference title.

More than likely, this game will decide which of the two teams will be going to the SEC Championship game. The Cards need Alabama to roll through Texas A&M so that there will only be one SEC hanging around the top five. Louisville still might run into a situation where the Aggies only loss is to the number one team in Alabama, but that concern is for another day.

Next: Navy

However, for now, Roll Tide.
