Randy’s Pick
The Virginia Cavaliers are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home and that defense is still elite. However, you can argue the Texas A&M Aggies are the more talented team and their defense has been respectable in their own right. Also, Texas A&M is probably the more battle tested team up to this point, and that’s key entering this spot. We’re getting a free bucket with an SEC contender. Give me Texas A&M.
