COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – Texas and Texas A&M will meet again on Nov. 27 in College Station, with the Aggies seeking their first win over the Longhorns since 2010.<\/p>\n
The Lone Star Showdown rivalry was renewed two years ago, and both matchups have carried SEC Championship Game implications. Texas has won each of the last two meetings, both times eliminating A&M from SEC title game contention.<\/p>\n
High stakes expected again in 2026<\/p>\n

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said the recent matchups have carried significant weight.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last two years, those have been great games that have mattered,\u201d Sarkisian said. \u201cTwo years ago, the winner of that game goes to the SEC Championship. Last year, we were fighting for what we felt like was our playoff lives. They were an undefeated team, so there were some great moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
