Texas A&M finished the season playing very well and came up just short of the SEC Conference Championship. Alcorn State was also one win away from a title, but played in much weaker conference. Texas A&M has the talent to absolutely roll the Braves here, but how engaged will they be? I am taking Alcorn State with the points here.
