2024-11-27
The comedy group Dude Perfect is all set to be the celebrity guest pickers for ESPN College GameDay in the lead-up to Week 14. The flagship college football pregame show will be live from College Station, where the highly-anticipated SEC showdown between Texas A&M and the Texas Longhorns is set to take place. This is a moment of great excitement as Dude Perfect will be on-hand to pick some of college football’s biggest games of the week. This includes the very game they are in town for, along with other notable matchups such as Michigan vs. Ohio State, South Carolina vs. Clemson, Notre Dame vs. USC, the Iron Bowl and many more.
Longhorns as Favorites but Aggies Not Giving Up Easily
When it comes to the Aggies-Longhorns matchup, the Longhorns are regarded as the favorites on paper and in Vegas. This view is strengthened by the fact that Texas A&M suffered a tough road loss to Auburn in four overtimes during Week 13. Moreover, a Texas win would secure their spot in the SEC Championship and potentially guarantee their place in the College Football Playoff. However, College Station is known for its hostile environment. With over 100,000 fans ready to make the Longhorns' season a disaster, the Aggies do not consider their home field as just a stop on the Longhorns' journey to Atlanta. The rivalry factor adds another layer of complexity to the game. This is the first meeting between Texas A&M and Texas since the Aggies moved to the SEC in 2011, dubbed the ‘Lone Star Showdown.’ The Longhorns hold a 76-37-5 lead in the all-time series, but the past six matchups have been evenly split at three each, with the previous six all going in favor of Texas.Game Details and Betting Odds
Kickoff between the Longhorns and the Aggies is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live from inside Kyle Field on ABC and ESPN+. Texas is currently a one-score favorite as they embark on this hostile road trip. The stakes are high for both teams, and every play will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. The Aggies will be looking to turn the tide and give the Longhorns a run for their money, while the Longhorns will be aiming to maintain their dominance and secure a crucial victory.Impact on College Football Season
This game between Texas A&M and Texas holds significant importance for the college football season. It not only determines the winner of this particular matchup but also has implications for the SEC Championship and the College Football Playoff. A Texas victory would send a strong message and boost their chances of making it to the playoffs, while an Aggies win could be a major upset and change the course of the season. The atmosphere and energy inside Kyle Field on game day will be electric, and it will be a battle between two proud football programs. Fans from both sides will be on the edge of their seats, hoping for their team to come out on top.
