Alabama vs Texas A&M is an even more intriguing match-up this season.

Does anyone else think so? We all know Alabama and Nick Saban are seeking revenge after the home loss against Texas A&M and Johnny Manziel from last season. We all know that Alabama has flown under the radar, somewhat, this off-season, while Texas A&M has been in the news and has been scrutinized heavily by the media.
Now, let's look at the game itself...
Texas A&M, will all of it's suspended players, struggled to stop Rice's offense last week (their defensive line looked bad). Alabama, with it's rebuilt offensive line, struggled to protect AJ McCarron and create rush lanes for TJ Yeldon and company. However, both Alabama's defense and Texas A&M's offense looked great last week. That's one thing that will likely remain the same, but just how good are both? Nobody knows, IMO. Rice's defense is garbage, and Virginia Tech's offense is also garbage.
This might be one of the harder games to predict of the season, IMO.
Good luck to both! Looking forward to seeing this game!

There will be no meaningful game film for either team going into this one.
Hey, did I just stumble upon this year's Bama excuse?

Yeah, it should be crazy good, but in all actuality both teams might not be as good as they were last year. Being played where it is, it seems like a toss-up at this point.

It's nice to see someone take a balance view on this. I still think Bama wins, but it'll be a lot closer than I thought earlier this year. While the O-line is not as good as last years yet, I still think that they will come to play. And they will come to College Station with revenge on the brain.
Overall it will be a great game.

Bama wins by an easy 3 TD margin, but the Aggies can take heart that this is the smallest margin of victory Alabama will have all season.

How is this considered fishing? What do you disagree with in the OP?

The reason Bama didn't play that well on Saturday is because they were thinking ahead to A&M. You should be honored........
And scared.

I don't think the revenge factor in Nick Saban's mind bodes well for Texas A&M.

Logan Thomas is terrible, they were playing with back-ups everywhere (including true freshmen), they have Jeff Grimes and Scot Loeffler coaching them, they couldn't even muster positive rushing yards in their last scrimmage before the season started, etc... Did you watch them last season? Their Spring Game? Their offense is bad.

No excuses for the Aggie terriblr performance on D.
But don't want to take Rice's due credit from them. They played very hard, didn't have one player flop even though the game was fast paced and it was hot as hell.

If the Ags win this place will be a bloody stew of insecure gumps and chest thumping yell leaders.
