The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs (8-1, 5-1) and Texas A&M Aggies (6-3, 3-2) will meet as SEC foes for the first time on Saturday, Nov. 23. And a game time for the contest has been announced.
The Bulldogs and Aggies will air on CBS. The game will start at 3:30 p.m. ET. This game will also double as senior day, as it’s Georgia’s final home game of the season.
The Georgia-Texas A&M game will match former Nick Saban assistants against each other, as the Aggies are led by Jimbo Fisher. This will be the first time Smart and Fisher square off as coaches.
Before Georgia and Texas A&M meet, the Bulldogs have a difficult matchup this week as they visit No. 13 Auburn (7-2, 4-2). Georgia beat Auburn a season ago, but it lost 40-17 the last time these two teams played in Auburn, Ala.
Shortly after Georgia’s 27-0 victory over Missouri, Smart quickly shifted his attention to Auburn.
“I’ve got a lot of respect for the way they play. They’re a physical football team. Great defense. Really good young quarterback,” Smart said. “Really hard offense to prepare for. Gus and I have seen a lot of each other over the years. I’ve got a lot of respect for their program, and I know they’ll be ready to play coming off an off week.”

Georgia could have the SEC East clinched by the time it plays Texas A&M. The Bulldogs only need a win against Auburn or a loss by Florida to win the division for a third consecutive year. It would be the first time since the league split into divisions that Georgia has accomplished that milestone.
Georgia’s final game of the regular season will be a trip to Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Georgia’s game against Auburn this week is set for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on CBS. Texas A&M plays South Carolina.
