Game updates, live scores in college football

Heading into the final weekend of October, there are only two SEC football teams left with undefeated conference records.

On Saturday they happen to play against each other.

In perhaps the standout game on Week 9's crowded slate, No. 7 LSU will visit No. 14 Texas A&M at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, in a matchup with significant conference title and College Football Playoff implications.

Each team enters the contest with a loss, but both occurred in non-conference play – LSU vs. USC and Texas A&M vs. No. 11 Notre Dame, both in Week 1 – meaning both the Tigers and Aggies remain in one are in an enviable position to travel to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game in early December.

While LSU's offense has been explosive with quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, it is the Tigers' defense that has shown noticeable improvement under first-year defensive coordinator Blake Baker. LSU is allowing 20.6 points per game in its first seven contests after allowing 28 points per game last season.

Texas A&M, meanwhile, has put the disappointment of the Jimbo Fisher era behind first-year head coach Mike Elko, posting a 6-1 record more than halfway through the regular season. If the Aggies manage to get past LSU, they will have to play unranked opponents in the next three games before the highly anticipated season finale against arch-rival Texas, which they have not played since 2011.

The Tigers have dominated the series for much of the past 15 years, picking up 10 wins in 13 meetings since 2011. The series has shown the potential for chaos, like in 2018, when Texas A&M beat LSU 74-72 in seven overtimes, a game that…prompted the NCAA to make changes to overtime rules.

LSU vs Texas A&M Predictions

Cory Diaz, Lafayette Daily Advertiser: LSU 29, Texas A&M 25

“Both teams will lead by more than one possession in this even game, but the Tigers will put together another drive late to destroy the Aggies in their place.”

Tony Catalina, Austin American-Statesman: Texas A&M 27, LSU 24

“Given the emotions surrounding this matchup, the home field advantage and the way the Aggies have come together, A&M will find a way to put together another thriller against their rival.”

Bill Bender, The Sporting News: LSU 31, Texas A&M 28

“Texas A&M has been on the rise since its season-opening loss to Notre Dame. Garrett Nussmeier needs to be more efficient and avoid turnovers, and Caden Durham — who had 101 yards and three touchdowns in Week 8 — needs to generate a running game for the Tigers. The home team has won the last seven meetings in the series, but this LSU team is capable of winning on the road.“
