a pac12 schedule is pretty damn tough they play good football week in and week out too

They play pretty good Offense in the PAC-12.

Virtually everyone at A&M thinks we're going to be much better than last year, and better than people think. That said, I don't have any idea how good ASU really is. I'll be mildly surprised if we lose.

So ASU is very good, but A&M should win? What does that make A&M?

Technically we were only offseason natty champs in 2013.
'12 we were supposed to be winless, last year most Ags were saying 7-9 wins

Much like USC last year, I feel like ASU will be a paper tiger. They are a team with a good coach who has come off multiple double digit win seasons in a row whom everyone is expecting to be good largely because of a redshirt senior QB who has looked good in spot duty. That was the same story on USC last year.

The reality is that they lost their three best players to the draft, the receivers they have left are so injured that they moved their scat back to full time receiver, their offensive line is starting two new tackles and their defense was somehow WORSE than A&M's last year in several categories. Moreover, history shows us there is a reason why guys who only start their redshirt senior seasons couldn't win the job in the four previous years.

We're just better and it's a de facto home game.

I think you'll be much improved as well. But ASU is not even remotely a cake walk. In fact, it's the toughest OOC opponent the SEC has week one. ASU is very good this year. So expecting a win is not something many should do over a good team like ASU.

What I'm saying is. There are maybe 4 teams good enough to expect a win with pretty strong confidence over a team like ASU. Ohio State, Bama, TCU, and probably Baylor or Oregon. I don't put the Aggies near those teams, so this attitude that they have no real chance is weird. ASU is a damn good team. Outstanding coach, strong in most positions, and a lot of veterans on that team.

So who wants to predict how badly ASU will suddenly "suck" or was "vastly overrated"--per tSECr posters--after the Aggies win on Saturday?

Teams. Key word there.

I'll expect a win, and there isn't a fricking thing you're going to do about it.

Edit: Vegas basically expects a win, too.
