    Joel Klatt Predicts Massive College Football Upset in the SEC for Week 6

    The slate of college football games in Week 6 isn't as jam-packed as it was a week ago when we got the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs losing to the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide, the No. 16 Notre Dame Fighting Irish beating the No. 15 Louisville Cardinals, and No. 6 Ole Miss Rebels losing to unranked Kentucky.

    However, there is one intriguing top-25 matchup on the schedule for Saturday, and it's expected to be a great game.

    No. 25 Texas A&M hosts No. 9 Missouri on Saturday afternoon in College Station. The Tigers are looking to get back on the right track after a close win over Vanderbilt last week, while Texas A&M is trying to continue a strong start despite their Week 1 loss to Notre Dame.

    When looking at this matchup, the lone ranked matchup of the week, Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt is calling for an upset.

    "I like A&M in this one at home," Klatt said on his podcast. "I think they learned a ton losing that game to Notre Dame, winning a semi-tight one against Arkansas and getting more solid quarterback play, solidifying their identity. At home, I like A&M 28-24."

    While Missouri is the higher-ranked team and is undefeated on the season, it's possible to argue that Texas A&M has been the more impressive-looking team thus far. While they have that Week 1 loss to a ranked team, the Aggies have taken care of business in their other games, beating McNeese, Florida, Bowling Green, and Arkansas.

    The Aggies, led by Connor Weigman, are currently a 2.5-point favorite over the Tigers at home.

    The game kicks off at noon ET and will be aired on ABC.

    I agree with Klatt. Mizzou isn't the same team as last year. Their schedule has been real soft so far and their defense is as good as last year's
