Could A&M sneak into a preseason top 25 ranking by week 1 of 2023?

I could see pundits trying to rationalize putting them in the 22-25 range

They’ll cite Weigman and the fact that they ended 2022 by convincingly beating the SEC West champions as reasons why Aggie is a dark horse playoff contender and should be ranked.

Maybe throw in a new OC and voila, #23 Texas A&M in week 1!

We will probably be higher than 23. I’d go with high teens.

I could see that too

I was being conservative with my projections in the OP

I could see it happening but it’s the last thing A&M needs…

Somewhere between #5 and 7 would be appropriate.

LSU fans already have moved A&M into the top 10. We, Ag fans are waiting til at least June to start that train.

Huge year for Jimbo. Can he and his staff turn it around and get to 9 wins?

Not sure it really matters when they are unranked by conference play just like every year.

They likely will be in the 40s. Last year’s ranking taught a lot of folks they can’t count on ole 4&8 for anything positive. That mistake will not be repeated for years to come.

4&8 are like the century plant, they only bloom once every 100 years. So don’t expect anything from them until 2039.

Honestly, I expect them to be ranked.

That's one benefit of the big contract, you know Jimbo has stability... and he's usually winning about 8-9 games there (no troll). Lotta good underclassmen returning and Weigman will be in place.

The question will be, how does Jimbo handle things this year?

We'll be ranked in the upper 20s but you won't see any pundits touting our name often until we have some output on the field.

We shouldn't even sniff the top 25 unless we're 4-0 after Auburn. Now, if we were to get past Bama and Tennessee, we can start talking top 15, but the odds aren't in our favor on those.

Where ever they were ranked in the top 25 it would be too high

Preseason rankings are meaningless. Of course you can throw teams like Bama, UGA OSU on the wall and most will stick. But in the end they are nothing more than a conversation about hypotheticals generated by people who talk about football for a living.
