Texas A&M's Preseason Ranking Under Scrutiny | Texas A&M Aggies Football News

Texas A&M jumps to No. 8 in the preseason AP Poll—matching their coaches’ ranking and marking their highest spot in a decade—despite losing a record number of starters to the NFL draft. While some credit Coach Mike Elko for leading them to their first College Football Playoff last year, others question if the ranking is justified, pointing to teams like Ole Miss, Oklahoma, LSU, and Texas Tech sitting just behind them. National media even labeled them the most overrated team, predicting an 8-9 win season and playoff miss. But don’t overlook their returning QB, elite wideouts, and loaded defense—potential for double-digit wins remains. The real wildcard? Replacing four offensive linemen; if the new OC can get creative and run blocking clicks, they might still compete.
