Who should Texas A&M football fans want to win in Texas vs. Florida?

The obvious answer here is Florida, if for no other reason than rivalry-based spite. But this is probably the least consequential game this weekend among top teams in the SEC, if for no other reason than that the Aggies control their own destiny with regard to the Longhorns.

The Aggies and Longhorns play in the final game of the year, so a win there is needed no matter what (unless Texas drops two games beforehand). It would be interesting to see how the committee ranks the Longhorns and Aggies if UF wins, though.

Dropping Texas to two conference losses improves the Aggies' standing overall, though, as a loss in the final game of the year would make it less likely for A&M to automatically be ruled out of the SEC championship. Though Texas would have the head to head in that instance, a multiple-team tie could result, rendering head to head moot (at least in the first instance).
