Aggies in September - games/polls

Short of a complete collapse by a few teams ahead of us, we should probably sit tight & get comfy with the team's current position, since I don't see how wins over any of our next 3-4 opponents will do much (anything?) to better our situation. Victories against these guys need to be of the blowout variety.
Sept 6 - Lamar
Sept 13 - Rice
Sept 20 - SMU
Sept 27 - Maybe even Arkansas?
I'm going to cheer like hell over the next several weeks for Mississippi State--likely our next "big" game (Oct 4)--and hope they come into that game with a shiny record.

We could still move up if some people in front of us lose.
Oregon and Mich St play next week. USC plays Stanford. Maybe some upsets as well.
By the time we get out of September, I think we will be firmly in the top 10 in all polls.

If Oregon beats Michigan State this week, we go up a MINIMUM of one spot. If Ohio State struggles against Virginia Tech or loses, we jump them as well.
If South Carolina beats Georgia on the 13th, that's another spot (not likely, but possible). If somehow Tennessee beats Oklahoma, that's one more.
If Kansas State beats Auburn on the 20th, that's another spot. If Clemson beats Florida State, another.
By the time we play Arkansas, we could be as high as 3rd or as low as 8th.

I could handle all o' that.
Was just perusing our schedule and thinking, "Oy. Some of those are lose/lose situations."
My BAS is in remission, but sometimes it flares up.

I'm not sure we blow out Arkansas, but we should win by a couple touchdowns at least.

IMO we are a nightmare matchup for Arkansas.
We will score easily on them and put the pressure on early and force them to pass more than they want.
Our defense was much more gap sound vs USC plus we can keep our DL fresh. Once they get behind, look for Garrett and Hall to clean up in a lot of passing situations.
We might beat them worse than we did in 2012.

IMO, we'll need a strong showing against SMU in light of how Baylor beat them (subject for another thread), and it would be extremely beneficial perception-wise to beat the brakes off Arky a la 2012.
Truthfully, I'm giddy with how much of a leap we made. Was cautiously hoping for 11th or 10th, but figured we'd land around 14th or 15th.

I can't see that we need to worry about polls right now. With games against MSU, Ole Miss, Alabama, Auburn, Missouri, and LSU, the polls will take care of themselves.

I actually think the coaches poll is right with us at 13.

Yeah I'm can't argue with that one tbh.
Opening weekend really couldn't have gone much better for us.
