SEC Football Week 13 Preview: Key Stats and Matchups Ahead
As Week 13 approaches in the SEC, four teams gear up for rivalry games, while six league contests carry significant weight for the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings and the SEC Championship. Notably, no games feature ranked opponents this week.
Texas A&M enters its matchup against Auburn without throwing an interception in the last five encounters between the teams. The Aggies’ last interception against them was by CB Noah Igbinoghene in 2018.
Oklahoma, facing Alabama, aims to end a four-game conference losing streak, equaling their longest in-season stretch in program history. Meanwhile, SEC players have not scored a pick-six in four weeks after tallying twelve in the first eight weeks of the season.
Mississippi State’s Kevin Coleman Jr. continues to shine, having recorded at least five receptions across the last eight games. He boasts 62 receptions for 756 yards.
Kalen DeBoer, Alabama’s first-year head coach, has amassed eight wins — the highest for an Alabama coach in their debut season. The Crimson Tide also boasts a 16-game winning streak in games leading up to their annual Iron Bowl clash against Auburn.
Arkansas’s Andrew Armstrong is on the verge of becoming the SEC’s first 1,000-yard receiver this season, sitting at 931 yards ahead of their matchup with Louisiana Tech.
The week also features a historic clash between Kentucky and Texas, who are meeting for the second time since 1951. Lastly, Ole Miss’s Jaxson Dart is just 373 passing yards shy of breaking Eli Manning’s career passing record at the school.
Fans can anticipate a compelling slate of games this Saturday, including Ole Miss at Florida and Alabama at Oklahoma. For betting lines and detailed scheduling, the latest updates can be found throughout the week as teams battle for postseason positions.
