So to recap rooting interests:

Texas A&M fans are rooting for Auburn and Clanga this week.

Georgia fans are rooting for Auburn and/or Texas.

Ole Miss fans are also rooting for Auburn and Texas.  

And....even I generally root for Auburn in the Iron Bowl.

That is way too much rooting for Auburn.  Ew.

Texas A&M is a 2.5-point favorite against Texas. The over/under for the total points scored in the game is set at 51.5. Moneyline odds for the game list Texas A&M at -134 and Texas at +112.

Auburn is a 5.5 point dog, oddly enough.

A&M should win about 58% of the time, Bama should win about 60% of the time.

Could you explain how that works? 118%?

So they are. "A&M" does not equal "Auburn."

A&M Auburn and Alabama, all "A" schools.  I can see the confusion.

Further confusion for people stuck in the past (like me): From 1872 to 1899, Auburn was The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama (1872–1899)

I don't get the A&M-Texas line.  The Aggies are legit and Texas is....not great.

Honestly I think we’re very evenly matched. Games at Austin, HFA.

Teams with those spreads win about 60% of the time.

Texas A&M is a 3.5 point favorite and "should win" about 58% of the time.

Alabama is a 5.5 point favorite and should win about 60& of the time.

By "should win", of course, I mean teams in the past with those spreads win about that often.  The possibility that one of them loses is then about 65%.  

Kirby says he wants to be in the CG, which is what he should be saying.  If UGA misses the CG it'll be interesting to see if they get dropped out of the #4 slot, presuming they beat Tech.

UGA is a 13 point favorite over Tech, which to me looks like an overly large spread.

Not many people know that LSU's full name is Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Why is the game being played at the Falcons place, and how long has that been going on?  

Why do teams feel the need to do stuff like this?  Games between the hedges are awesome, and presumably Bobby Dodd stadium has it's own unique flare too, almost every place does.  Why sterilize this in an NFL venue like it's the SEC CG?
