BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Texas A&M Football will take center stage for Southeastern Conference Media Days on July 16 at the College Football Hall of Fame and Omni Atlanta Hotel at CNN Center in Atlanta, the SEC announced Thursday. Headlined by Head Coach Jimbo Fisher the Aggies will send a trio of student-athletes to preview the highly anticipated 2020 season.
Â
The SEC announced its annual football media days will take place July 13-16 in Atlanta, which also hosted the event in 2018.
Â
The Aggies enter the season after winning the 2019 Texas Bowl over No. 25 Oklahoma State as Fisher earned his 100th win as a head coach. Fisher is the eighth Texas A&M head coach to have reached the century mark (Paul 'Bear' Bryant, D.X. Bible, Jackie Sherrill, Madison Bell, Dennis Franchione, R.C. Slocum, Homer Norton).
Â
A more detailed daily schedule with full television information, rotational breakdown and student-athletes attending will be available prior to the event in early July. The SEC Network and ESPN will once again be on site to bring the four-day event to a national audience.
Â
Only seven times since 1992 has the SEC Media Days predicted champion proceeded to win the SEC Championship, which includes three of the last six seasons. Only twice in history, the last of which was 2018, have both the SEC Championship Game participants and eventual champion been predicted correctly. Out of 260 possible voters in 2019, LSU received three votes to win the SEC Championship.
