Tommy Moffitt is the X factor here. It all depends on how much of an impact he makes in year 1. If he gets the results he wants early, they will be one hell of a tough team to play.

Always funny to see people hating on A&M and their fan base. Has A&M underachieved, especially in recent years? Yes, absolutely. Yet they still have a loyal and strong fan base. That’s somethin to be proud of and not many schools can say that. Gig Em!

Texas gets hate because they’ll actually peak and compete which is not the same for atm who hasn’t competed since 2020 and it was covid a lot of players were missing. Before that was 2012 atm and that was considered their best season ever and couldn’t compete for the sec.

Texas A&M has, Top 10 roster talent. #1 in SEC in returning talent. 4 toughest games are at home: LSU, Texas, Notre Dame and Missouri. Heisman trophy candidate QB. Deepest RB room in the SEC. #2 in Portal signees, including substantial depth at the DB, OL, WR, and DL; inherited 25 sacks through the portal. Legend at strength and conditioning coach. I won't be surprised with 9-10 wins.

Couple of "falsehoods" in your statement 1....the aggy RB room is NOT the best in the SEC 2...sure aggy was #2 in "portal" signings.....but when you have 30 players transfer out and bring in 12.....but #2 meant how many you signed not where your portal class ranked which was pretty average at best 3.....that Oline sucked last year and will probably suck again 4 ...aggy has won a championship since 1939...FACT 5....Exactly how many 10 win seasons does aggy have in last 50yrs

Ordinarily not a roster spot that gets a lot of attention, but their center (Foster, an unredshirted senior) was nominated for the Rimington last year. Good place to start assembling a solid front. You said that A&M is a 1.5 point favorite over the Irish (2:47). I know the futures are out, but I can't find any odds on the individual games for 8-31. I think Fanduel, the Westgate, USA Today, etc. started posting the odds for Week 1 last year about May 1. Are they available already? You got Oklahoma and Temple? Thanks a lot for the top-notch info and opinion.

@@thekey1682This is a common criticism, but I find it kinda Irrelevant. There are lots of teams like Nebraska that have plenty of 10 wins in their history but haven’t sniffed one in a couple of decades. So, what does that matter. What I do know is that A&M has a top ten roster, a QB with tons of potential and a now they have a quality coach. I mean that S-storm won 7 games last year with Jimbo and his incredible dysfunction. You know, several years ago, Clemson was just a decent program that had a really good season every now and then, until they found the right guy. Elko might be the right guy at A&M because lord knows they have all the other resources needed to compete for Championships.

A&M is very easy to predict. They are not and never have been an elite team. If you discount the period when they were sanctioned by the NCAA when coached first by Jackie Sherrill and then sanctioned a second time under his successor RC Slocum, the Aggies are a .600 team. If you start your analysis there, occasionally, you will be pleasantly surprised and rarely disappointed.

I think people are forgetting that a&m has been medicore because of coaching. Jimbo never made any good assistant coaching hires. The only good hire he made was mike elko as his DC. The recivers, qbs, o line never developed. Even the defense took a big step back after elko left. You can't rely on getting 5 stars only and not develop them. There is a reason why teams like michigian, ohio state and kentucky, who are in in states that lack instate talent have had more sucess that a&m. They prioritized player development a lot more. Elko seems like he wants to do that considering the hires he has made on this coaching staff. Don't be suprised is a&m wins 9+ games because they definitely can.

I dunno if its fair to say Fisher underachieved. Its not like TAMU has this history of significant success. 1991-1994 is the only period in program history where they consistently won at a high rate. Fisher's performance was consistent with the program's historical norm. This is a program with one double-digit win season in the last 25 years. Josh seems convinced that this program should/could be doing better, but until a coach actually manages to do so, that's just speculation.

Yeah and they have blue blood level resources. That’s the reason people expect more. It’s assumed that considering they have literally everything they need to perform at an elite level, a good coach should be able to bring them that success.

@Pseudowolf 2 ай бұрын

Josh's argument is not wrong. He has said that A&M has the resources that the other elite teams have. They have the facilities and money. They have the high-ranked recruiting classes. So why do they not succeed at an elite level? It's been the coaching. That's why he calls it a turn-key program. They appear to have everything needed to compete at an elite level, but A&M has a history of hiring coaches who aren't able to utilize it. Hopefully Elko is someone who can, but time will tell.
