Texas A&M, currently ranked #9 in the AP Poll, is coming off a statement win against Arkansas. Arkansas came in to the game last week at #17 in the AP Poll, and were trying to spoil the Aggies party.

The win last week for the Aggies is a lot bigger than many are giving them credit for. It could’ve been easy for them to look ahead to their next two games, at South Carolina and Tennessee at home, but the Aggies took care of business in Dallas.

They have now beat three well-known teams in UCLA (31-24), Auburn (29-16), and now Arkansas. Auburn’s 18-13 win against LSU last week didn’t hurt either.

The next month of the season for the Aggies is going to be much harder than the first. They go to South Carolina this weekend, but then face Tennessee at home and go to Tuscaloosa to play Nick Saban and Alabama after their bye week.

The bye week before Alabama will give this team time to prepare, but no matter how much time you have Saban usually finds a way to get it done. Look for A&M to pick up a win this week, but will face a much tougher opponent next weekend in Tennessee.

Next Matchup: at South Carolina
