4. Auburn Tigers

When: Saturday, Nov. 3

Venue: Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn, Alabama

The Auburn game comes at another hard time for the Aggies: it ends a rough three game road stretch in which the Aggies will visit South Carolina, Mississippi State and then Auburn. The game is on the first Saturday of November.

Besides being important in deciding the SEC West race, a win would show a couple of things about Jimbo Fisher’s Aggies. It would show that they aren’t fading down the stretch. It would show they can win the big games in November.

If the Aggies go 0-3 in this stretch of the season it will be hard to ultimately call Jimbo’s first year a success. For whatever reason though the road team has always won this matchup, regardless of what records and rankings may dictate.

2017 score: 42-27 Auburn win

Early prediction: Aggies WIN
