The Texas A&M-Alabama football series doesn't go as far back as some of the rivalries in the SEC, but it has become one of the most anticipated games of the regular season over the last few years since the Aggies joined the conference in 2012.
The Crimson Tide are always among the national championship favorites in college football betting while Texas A&M is usually buried. As division foes, these programs meet annually with no love lost, as we saw this past offseason when Saban called out Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher for buying his top-ranked recruiting class in the 2022 cycle.
Texas A&M vs. Alabama Series History
The Aggies and Crimson Tide have met 14 times, with the Tide holding an 11-3 edge in the standings.
The first meeting was in 1942 in the first of two Cotton Bowl matchups (1-1). Since joining the SEC, Texas A&M is 2-8 against Alabama. The Aggies won their first matchup as conference foes in 2012 as Johnny Manziel burst onto the scene. The Tide rolled to eight straight before A&M coach Jimbo Fisher became the first Nick Saban assistant to beat him in 2021.
