I see 5 guarenteed wins and 3 guarenteed losses. Y'all will probably finish 7-5.

That's about where most of us are picking...leaning towards 8-4.

I say our likliest losses are to Auburn, Bama, and LSU.

I think we win 2 out of the three vs. SC and the MS schools. Not sure which, though.

ETA: And of course, that's me being an optimist. A&M usually slips up and wins a game they shouldn't most years.

I expect a loss at South Carolina, at Alabama, and at Auburn.

I expect to win at least 2 out of Ole Miss, at Mississippi State, Missouri, and LSU.

I expect to win against all the cupcakes. (Arkansas and the 4 OOC games)

SOS was right, the aTm OOC schedule has been and still is pure garbage. Four auto wins to boost the win total, will they ever schedule a real team in OOC or are they afraid to?

You do realize our OOC has suffered because of the conference switch and being blackballed by big12 schools, correct? I know folks love to flame A&M on anything they can, but surely you can understand this.

Our OOC in the next few seasons will dramatically improve.

A&M's OOC is a mess because of moving to the SEC. Had to rework the schedule.. Have ASU, UCLA, a d a few others coming up after this year. Can't remember exactly

Nope, we will never schedule a real team OOC.

We are NOT playing Arizona State in reliant in 2015.

We are NOT playing both Arizona State and at UCLA in 2016.

We are not playing UCLA in 2017.

Finally, we are NOT playing Oregon home and home in 2018-2019.

I like our chances vs OM & LSU.

I think we will drop UCEe, BAMA, Auburn, & MU.

Especially Baylor, who whines about no major OOC opponent wanting to play them, but won't schedule an OOC series with a team in a major conference that just happens to be only 90 miles away.

Then again, the last time Baylor played at Kyle, they bought less than 600 tickets. With RG3. In one of their best years ever. And again, with only a 90-mile road trip.

That was a great game. Our D made RG3 quit. He still had a huge game, but by the end he was done.

Pretty sure after the shite they pulled in 2011 (or at least tried to) we won't be playing them in football ever again.

Why would we? If we lose, WE LOST TO BAYLOR. If we win, it's just Baylor.

Aggy Aggy Aggy, what will we do with you?

Seemed like even in Sherman's last years he always recruited pretty well by b12 standards, but the recent Aggie D has been little better than an unmitigated disaster.

If just plugging in 4-5 star freshman where all there is to it, you might be on to something, but things like training, experience, mental discipline, apparently do matter, and throwing a bunch of even very talented first years out on the field in the SEC could prove,, not so good.

Without some strong D in the box, power running teams will eat you up, UsCar Bama, Aubbie LSU, even Mizzou have some strong OLines coming out this year and experienced Running Backs to work with. I just don't like your chances of slowing these teams down very much, and outscoring them w/out the money man at QB could prove a greater task than you are ready for.

While I like the Aggies, (you helped get us in the SEC) and your fan base makes us Tigers seem vanilla as it gets, I just don't like your chances this year... sorry. Good luck though, except on Nov 15.
