S. Carolina v. Texas A & M

For most of college football history, these teams had nothing to do with each other.  South Carolina played schools in the East, Texas A & M played schools in the Southwest, and there was no reason for them to meet on the playing field.  But now they are both in the SEC, and this will be the third year in row that they have played.  Two years ago, the Aggies game to Columbia and pounded South Carolina 52 to 28.  Last year, A & M won 35 to 28 in College Station.  That's all of the history between these two schools.

The big story here, of course, is that Texas A & M is 2-0 in the SEC, 4-0 overall, and ranked 9th in the country.  South Carolina is 1-2 in the SEC, 2-2 overall, and unranked.  A & M is favored by 20 points in a game where 51 points are expected.  That would be something like a 36-16 Aggie victory, which seems high to me.  But I underestimated TAMU last week, so I wouldn't be surprised by another easy win.
