If College Gameday is there, the law of averages says that we are due a win.

1995 at Colorado - LOSS
2000 Oklahoma - LOSS
2006 Oklahoma - LOSS
2012 Florida - LOSS

I think it's advantage A&M. That being said, Alabama will probably win.

Does not matter.

Bama wins big in this one.

The only way it will help A&M being early on is that the Aggies will have time to recover from the game before having to lose to LSU.

Saban's (SEC coaching) record is 28-9 with extra time to prepare. At Bama he has won 82.9% of those games. Experience will prevail.

Considering A&M has the best OL in the SEC coming back, and their offense was hitting on all cylinders, an early game favors the Aggies.

May not be enough to win though. Saban will stop the run game and play to contain Manziel instead of rushing him hard.

Bama will play ball control and Manziel will be forced into turnovers.

Bama will not stop the run. Behind another great Oline, get ready to meet Brandon Williams. Malena and Trey Williams are studs as well, coming back stronger. If A&M is able to run the ball, and they will, Bama will be forced to play catch up and never get there.

Dear Lord. I haven't heard of any of them. Gurley and Hill barely cracked 100 on bama last year. We'll still have a platoon of 300 pounders up front. Ags ground game will come from manziel scrambles, not handing off to tailbacks

The early game on a neutral field in a national match-up favors Bama by far...its been Saban's philosophy all along...these early games keep the players focused.......Aggie on the otherhand plays two tune up games at home....Bama's early road test against a decent OOC opponent then a bye to focus on Aggie is definetely in our favor

Just about every year in the SEC one or even two teams receive an extremely tough schedule. Bama paid their dues in 2010 when they had 6 SEC Opponents in a row coming off bye's. Every team in the SEC at some point gets a very tough schedule. It's just a part of being in this elite conference.
