Texas A&M Aggies vs. Tennessee Volunteers Named Top SEC Game of the Week

Of all the SEC matchups this weekend, one game stands out per Saturday Down South as the SEC's top matchup for Week 7, and that's in Knoxville, Tennessee, where the Texas A&M Aggies will take on the No. 19 Volunteers.

There are several matchups in the SEC this week that will be worth watching. Arkansas looks to get back on track and heads to Tuscaloosa to take on No. 11 Alabama, Florida travels north to Columbia to take on the Gamecocks, and Auburn goes into Death Valley to play No. 25 LSU.

But one game stands out per Saturday Down South as the SEC's top matchup for Week 7, and that's in Knoxville, Tennessee, where the Texas A&M Aggies will take on the No. 19 Volunteers. 

It will be just the fifth time the two programs have met, with both programs notching two wins each. The last time the Aggies and Vols met was in 2020 at Neyland Stadium where A&M left happy with a 34-13 win.

But this weekend has much on the line for both teams. A Tennessee win would help the Vols keep up with 3-0 No. 1 Georgia in the SEC East. The Aggies are reeling after a 26-20 loss to Alabama and they need a win to keep any SEC West title hopes alive.

Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher hasn't won an SEC road game since a 35-14 win at Missouri in October of 2021, and Tennessee hasn't lost at home since a loss to Georgia in November of that same season. This one might not bode well for Fisher & Co., but it'll be a fun one to watch.

Texas A&M and Tennessee will kick off from Knoxville this Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT on CBS.
