The No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies have two SEC games remaining on the schedule and winning 11 games is guaranteed if they can get past the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday morning. After going undefeated in their last three conference road games, spirits are high in Aggieland with all eyes focused on A&M’s first trip to Atlanta since joining the SEC over a decade ago.

This weekend, the Aggies will have a chance to reach double-digit wins for the first time since 2012, when Aggie star Johnny Manziel captured the Heisman Trophy.

While the marquee game left on the schedule is Samford, a victory over the Gamecocks means the SEC title game and a top-four ranking in the College Football Playoff could all come down to the game against Texas. However, looking that far ahead could create problems against a team with nothing to lose and eager to play spoiler.

With that being said, one thing we know about coach Mike Elko is that he will not overlook South Carolina. In fact, team captain Taurean York was already watching South Carolina game film on the way home after the Missouri win. Anything can happen, and if the Aggies do fall, it will not be because they were unprepared. It will be because they were simply outplayed or unable to overcome self-inflicted mistakes.

Here’s who the experts are picking to win this week’s showdown:

Texas A&M truly controls its destiny, and a win against South Carolina gets them one step closer to an SEC title game.
