re: Why the A&M Hype?

Most people who follow SEC football said that TAMU could improve this year, but the record might not indicate it due to the difficulty of the schedule. It's clearly evident that they are recruiting much better under Jimbo than Sumlin, and they are playing with much more toughness.

Outside of their fan base here, I don't see too many people "hyping" A&M as a whole, but I have seen quite a few pundits say that they expect A&M to beat AU, mainly due to the AU O-line and QB.
