Texas-Texas A&M Preview: Point Spread, Prediction, Poll, and Keys to Victory for the Final Thanksgiving Night Battle

Texas-Texas A&M

Texas A&M and Texas will meet for the 118th time at Kyle Field this Thanksgiving and unfortunately it will be the last meeting between these two bitter rivals on an annual basis for awhile.

This is one of the oldest and most renowned rivalries in college football, and it is going to go by the wayside due to conference realignment once this season is over.  Texas A&M will make the jump next season to the SEC, and with Texas’ non-conference schedule full until 2017 it could be a long time before they meet again.  Neither one of these teams wants to lose the final game in this series as conference opponents, so look for emotions to be running high on both sides.

Here is what you can expect from these teams in this heated rivalry.

—————

Incredibly, we head into the final weekend of the college football regular season with six — six! — teams sporting undefeated records.

Florida, Alabama, Texas, TCU, Cincinnati, and Boise State all have legitimate claims to a national title shot right now, by virtue of the fact that no team has proven to be better on the field.

Obviously either Florida or Alabama will taste defeat before BCS slotting time comes, but it is quite likely that the other four teams will all maintain their spotless status. Quite likely…but they all still have to overcome their Thanksgiving weekend hurdles, and they are hurdles that should not be overlooked.

Florida, Alabama, and Texas have rivalry games against Florida State, Auburn, and Texas A&M respectively. Cincinnati must face a Big Ten foe in Illinois while Boise State has to fend off a solid Nevada squad. (TCU has a cakewalk game against New Mexico.)

College football fans are in for a tremendous amount of debate and controversy should five, four, or even three teams finish the season undefeated. What happens during Thanksgiving weekend will go a long way towards determining exactly how much debate and controversy this bowl season will have.

Today is the third Thursday in November, which means one thing and one thing only to me and many of you reading this: we are now officially one week away from the greatest meal of the year.

We are also one week away from a day when it is generally accepted in most households that the TV will be tuned to football all day long.

And, of course, we’re one week away from being able to share a wonderful day with friends and family and let them know that we are thankful for their presence in our lives.

But you don’t need our help with that. You’re here for one thing and one thing only: the Thanksgiving Day TV schedule for the NFL and college football games that will accompany our turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie, and eventual food coma.

Let’s get right to it.
