    A pair of top-10 teams fell in the Week 5 college football slate, with the Ole Miss Rebels losing to the Kentucky Wildcats and the Arizona Wildcats topping the Utah Utes.

    The Week 6 slate has many top-10 teams facing unranked opponents, but the one true ranked matchup is the No. 9 Missouri Tigers against the No. 25 Texas A&M Aggies.

    Missouri and Texas A&M have played 16 times previously, with the last meeting in 2021 resulting in a 35-14 Aggies win. Missouri comes into the matchup at 4-0, while Texas A&M is 4-1 after losing its season opener to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

    Moments before kickoff, the "SEC Nation" crew made picks for the Missouri-Texas A&M game, with Roman Harper, Tim Tebow and Paul Finebaum weighing in.

    Tebow and Finebaum picked Missouri to fall to Texas A&M in College Station.

    "The wise pick is Missouri, but what Mike Elko said 10 minutes ago, he's gambling," Finebaum said. "He could play the conservative route, 'We'll stay the course. We'll work Connor in.' But no, he said, 'Blank it.'

    "Connor Weigman is going to play. That means this guy wants to win. He doesn't care what anyone has to say. There's a reason people aren't respecting Missouri, and we're gonna find out when A&M wins this game today."

    Texas A&M had some injury problems at quarterback heading into the game. Weigman suffered a shoulder injury earlier this season, but is set to start on Saturday after missing the last three games.

    Despite their lower ranking, Texas A&M entered the game favored by 2.5 points, according to CBS SportsLine.
