Texas A&M defeated Alabama for the first time since November 10, 2012. This marked the first time Nick Saban had lost to a former assistant coach; prior to this his record was 24–0 against former assistant coaches. This was Alabama's first loss to an unranked opponent since 2007, where they lost to Louisiana-Monroe. The 100-game win streak against unranked opponents by Alabama was also snapped by Texas A&M.[7] It is also the first time an AP No. 1 team lost to an unranked team since 2008, when USC was defeated by Oregon State.
