Closing Thoughts

Whether a 9-3 season will be enough to represent the SEC West in the conference championship game remains to be seen. That teetering edge represents the next level the Aggies hope to climb to this coming season.

Texas A&M hasn’t been a year-in-year-out conference championship contender in decades. Being in the mix with a few games to play in November is a step in the right direction, regardless of the results against Georgia or LSU this coming season.

The goal for Texas A&M is to build on the firm foundation laid first by Johnny Manziel and added to be Jimbo Fisher. Following up a Gator Bowl with a New Year’s Six Bowl would be indisputable evidence the program his making the strides it promised when it hired Fisher away from Florida State.

Next. Every Johnny Manziel game at Texas A&M, ranked. dark

2020 is being penciled in as the launching point for the Aggies national title-caliber candidacy. If they’re going to get to that point they need to show they can knock off one of the giants in 2019, if not more. Regardless of the final record, how Texas A&M fairs against the big four will be the biggest question this team will answer this season.
