I firmly believe in the “Any Given Saturday” mantra, but with the 10-0 #3 Texas A&M Aggies against 1-10 Samford BulldogsI might have to throw that out the window this week.
There’s no doubt the Aggies will be 11-0 after Saturday, but head coach Mike Elko knows that his team can still improve in several areas. The key is for his team to maintain the same level every game week, regardless of the opponent. Even though it’s not an SEC matchup, every competition deserves the same level of preparation, and no team can be overlooked.

Here’s who the experts are picking to win this week’s showdown:
Texas A&M will need to stay focused this week and avoid any mistakes in a game that isn’t expected to be close when the final score is released.
