It’s Rivalry Week in college football, and there are no shortage of appetizing games between bitter rivals in Week 14.
For ESPN’s “College GameDay,” the crew of Nick Saban, Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, Desmond Howard and Pat McAfee will be at Kyle Field in College Station for the much-anticipated clash between the Texas Longhorns (10-1) and Texas A&M Aggies (8-3). ESPN made the announcement Saturday, Nov. 23.
It’s the second time this season that Texas A&M has hosted GameDay. The Aggies hosted the iconic pregame show in Week 1 when Mike Elko’s team squared off against Notre Dame.
Saturday will mark the first time that Texas and Texas A&M will play on the gridiron since 2011. The winner will play the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game. The SEC champion will receive a first-round bye in the 12-team College Football Playoff.
Texas is No. 3 in the CFP rankings and US LBM Coaches Poll. Texas A&M is No. 20/No. 19. Kickoff for Texas-Texas A&M is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CT. The game can be seen on ABC.
“College GameDay” begins broadcasting live at 8 a.m. CT on ESPN.
