COLLEGE STATION, Texas. – First place in the Southeast Conference is up for grabs.

As the 12th Man begins to sway and sing, number 7 LSU football (6-1, 3-0 SEC) and No. 14 Texas A&M (6-1, 4-0 SEC) will battle for No. 1 in the conference under the lights at Kyle Field Saturday night (6:30 p.m.). , ABC).

A&M has never been 5-0 in SEC play since joining the league in 2012. For the Tigers, they were picked to finish fifth in the SEC in the preseason, but have exceeded expectations so far, which sets up the marquee match.
