vs. Arizona State - A practical home game for all intends and purposes, but not a good first game for Chavis. Arizona State's offense is potent and has a good running back, and it will take a while for A&M's defense to adjust. Arizona State's defense returns 9 starters but it will be tough to tell if they will be able to stop the A&M offense. I just think Arizona State is a more seasoned team here and that is why they will win. LOSS - Arizona State 45 Texas A&M 41

Ball State - A joke team at home that the Aggies should have no problems with. WIN - Texas A&M 56 Ball State 21

Nevada - This is not the same Nevada team that Chris Ault had good seasons with. They suck now. WIN - Texas A&M 55 Nevada 17

vs. Arkansas - If these teams met in November last year instead of earlier in the season Arkansas would have won easily. Will Chavis have A&M's run defense ready by this point? Probably not. Arkansas defense should be much better and will be better equipped to stop A&M, like they did last year until the 4th quarter. LOSS - Arkansas 38 Texas A&M 31

Mississippi State - Unfortunately most of the team that slaughtered A&M on both sides of the ball last year is gone. Dak Prescott is a good player but he can't do it alone. I don't see MSU being able to stop A&M. WIN - Texas A&M 41 Mississippi State 24

Alabama - Although most of the team that beat A&M 59-0 last year isn't returning, A&M is not at the level yet to beat Alabama. LOSS - Alabama 37 Texas A&M 21

@ Ole Miss - Ole Miss's defense should be ready, and the offensive line will be hungry to go against that Aggie defense. The first road game of the year also, A&M will be on the wrong end of this one. LOSS - Ole Miss 34 Texas A&M 24

South Carolina - Is anyone apart from South Carolina fans expecting anything from the Gamecocks this year? A&M got lucky on its east opponents. WIN - Texas A&M 45 South Carolina 27

Auburn - Chavis's defense will get shredded just like Auburn did to LSU last year, and Boom's defense should slow down A&M like he did at Florida back in 2012. This won't be the same Auburn team A&M beat last year by the time this game rolls around. LOSS - Auburn 52 Texas A&M 35

Western Carolina - This will be one of those games where A&M hangs 70 to get its fanbase all excited. These games are for the portion of the fanbase who can't afford tickets for the bigger games, so these are the games they attend. Last year after scoring 73 on Lamar you'd have thought they just scored 70 in the national championship game if you talked to an A&M fan the following Sunday. A&M fans don't seem to have a concept of the relative strength of the opponent. WIN - Texas A&M 70, Western Carolina 7

@ Vanderbilt - A&M got lucky with East opponents, and with only 3 road games, this one should be a win. Vanderbilt won't take a step forward in 2015. WIN - Texas A&M 49, Vanderbilt 19

@ LSU - Daddy vs. Son. Game is in BR, nothing will change. Daddy owns Son. Chavis or not. LOSS - LSU 37, Texas A&M 17

Final Record is 6-6, 3-5 in conference. Decline continues. They will play another 6-6 team in a low tier bowl game, win, and the fans will act like its the biggest deal in the world just like the 2011 Texas Bowl when they beat 6-6 Northwestern.
