My prediction for A&M in 2025 is that they will continue being weird and gay.

Game to game breakdown, 70% chance of making the playoffs. Check out the article:

LINK


"Critical Player Matchups:
A&M C Faaiu/Nabou vs. ND DT Howard Cross III: This is the premier interior battle. Cross's elite ratings suggest he will be disruptive, capable of getting penetration and forcing A&M's run plays to bounce outside, making them less efficient. The model gives Cross the advantage in over 60% of their one-on-one snaps."

"Game Synopsis & Path to Victory: A&M must embrace a "chaos" approach. Their path to victory involves abandoning the run game early if it's not working and putting the game in Marcel Reed's hands. They need to use designed QB runs and rollouts to get him outside the pocket, away from Howard Cross III. They must turn this into an unstructured backyard football game. Notre Dame's path is simpler: stop the run, contain the QB, and win a low-scoring, 20-17 type of game. The hostile environment and ND's trench advantage make that the more likely outcome."


You may want to re-draft your analysis of the A&M at Notre Dame game in week 3. Howard Cross III signed with the Cincinnati Bengals as an UDFA shortly after the 2025 NFL draft. Last season was his final year of college eligibility.

Even LSU ran to talk to us after their baseball ‘ship

Wow you sure got us. 6 fans on a message board talked shite to A&M fans, meanwhile in the real world we won a natty while yall didn’t even make the postseason. How are we ever going to recover?

Putting 10k down in 8-4.

Safe bet for my money.

We will have one surprise win and 2 unexpected loses in late season.

Last year, exactly 1 of 12 teams made the CFP with 3 losses (Clemson), and they won their conference championship game to get in. According to this simulation, A&M will lose 3 games or more 70% of the time, and yet somehow that results in a 70% chance they make the playoffs. That's a clear indication that an aggy was involved with the math.

100% chance A&M is a weird cult that everyone laughs at.

I wonder how much bigger Reed comes in. Young man looked like he needed a sandwich or three last year. But, with bigger size, does he lose the explosiveness and shiftiness?

Good to talk football again.

You’re not wrong. But it would require beating one of Texas or Notre Dame who are both top 4 teams. Again, the metric shows a nearly equal likelihood of 10-2 which is why it also suggests a 70% likelihood scenario. I understand math is difficult for LSU which, let’s face it, as an Orioles fan having to listen to Ben McDonald, whom I love and respect, doesn’t really showcase the IQ needed to graduate your prestigious university.

DE, Boubacar Traore, may well be ND's best DL player this coming season. DT will be by committee. There is no one outstanding player there, but a lot of depth - more so than I can remember in my 25 years following the team.

Looks like he’s mixed in a few steaks and put some work in during the offseason.

We shall see.
