A&M and South Carolina are both being overlooked, which is sorta funny, because both usually start ranked too high.

So because someone weighs 230 instead of 220 they now lack speed for the position? Stop being ignorant
Who said that? You said y'all have size. I have no idea what your roster looks like but the A&M defense got manhandled a bunch last year. Chavis likes to put as much speed on the field as possible. He did it at LSU. The problem with that is it leaves you vulnerable to power rushing attacks. Last year Auburn, State and Arky all beat that defense down. If Kiffin wouldn't have gone full tard against us and just run the ball they could've done the same.

aTm has the ability to win any game on their schedule this year like Auburn. Since their first season in the SEC and the upset of Bama no fanbase should feel comfortable playing them. While Sumlin is coach they will have the ability to score in bunches. They are hurt by their ability to score in the read zone, with the exception of the JFF years when he was the feature back as well when facing tough run stopping defenses. Like chavis or not he is an upgrade over previous coaches and the defense will be better. Whether they are good enough against power running teams is yet to be seen but they can't be worse. I think aTm will be in that 8-4 range with a couple wins over the AU, Bama, Ole Miss, LSU group. They will also have a couple losses they are favored in. Its not that they are a bad team the SEC west is just that good and if you dont bring your A game you will get beat by anyone in the division. Any fan that thinks a "w" against aTm is given doesn't know or understand football.

You mean the one who picked A&M over LSU? Yes he did.

Yes, they are looked over. It has something to do with 1939.
Posted on 7/8/15 at 1:44 pm to boXerrumble
apparently the SEC front office did NOT overlook them..
pretty sure everything else is "the small stuff"..

Oh, no
Somebody forgot that this is tRant. Reasonable evaluations of opposing teams is punishable by purmaban.
We will be merciful. As your punish, you shall state in no less that your next 10 posts, that Aggy sucks vast quantities of coagulated Pink Fairy Armadillo semen, followed by the double bird. Like this:
Take your punishment, repent of your anit-Rant ways, and sin no more.

LSU bitches about having to play everyone, so that's not unusual. They're whiny that way.

Look what Chavis did with bad defenses at LSU that will give you a peak of what to expect. If their linebacker and secondary improves they could be pretty good. But you can say 9-3 for probably every SEC west team.

I agree with this. I think a 6-2 conference record in the west wins it albeit with a tie breaker. The odd thing is this year it could be any team. Some have less of a chance than others but I wouldn't be surprised to see an aTm or arkansas sneak in there. I would still bet on bama, Au, then LSU but it wouldn't surprise me. Ole miss and Mss state will be tough wins as well, the west will be brutal and probably cannibalize itself.

So I took a venture over to TexAgs where I read the thread about John Chavis' aggressive defenses and something stood out to me.
When an LSU poster stated that when LSU had its best offense in 2013 the defense was hot garbage and that shows that A&M may not be any better with Chavis' defense. The Ags retorted that LSU's 2013 defense was the result of the mass exodus that happened with underclassmen after the 2012 season.
Both of these are correct, but why don't Ags see the same approach for LSU's offense? In 2012 we started a new QB, 3 or so OL, new WRs, TEs, etc and the offense suffered. In 2013 all of those guys returned and we had a great season which resulted in a mass exodus of offensive firepower to the draft. In 2014, we started a new QB, a new OL, new RB, new WRs, etc and the offense was hot garbage again. What's there to say that the LSU offense won't be better in 2015 with returning starters?
Maybe you Aggies should accept that teams have the ability to improve with experience and that it doesn't always matter who's coaching them. You all love to point out that LSU's defensive scheme with Chavis was simplified which allowed pure athletes to play without thinking. This same scheme was very predictable and allowed scores in crunch time. Now that Chavis is with A&M, you Ags have accepted that your defense won't have the same athletes that LSU did yet you expect improvement based on scheme alone. Now that LSU will have superior athletes and a new, complex scheme we should be better on defense.
Let me also refer to a thread which many of you seemed to enjoy,
TLDR: A&M frickED
LSU STACKED

Since 2012, LSU and Texas A&M's sack stats are very close for there being such a discrepancy in Total Defense ratings:
2012 LSU - 35 sacks
2012 A&M - 31 sacks
2013 LSU - 27 sacks
2013 A&M - 21 sacks
2014 LSU - 19 sacks
2014 A&M - 35 sacks
Even when John Chavis had one of the most elite defenses of all time (2011 LSU) they only mustered up 38 total sacks in the season. In 2011, Texas A&M registered a whopping 51 total sacks in the season.
An elite LSU DE, Barkevious Mingo (drafted 6th overall in the 2013 NFL draft) managed 15 sacks throughout his career of 40 games played.
Myles Garrett of A&M has managed 11 sacks in his freshman season alone.
TLDR: A&M frickED
LSU STACKED
