If the first six games fall in place as projected, Texas A&M is a Top 10 in mid-October with more pressure on their backs than ever before. The media will be asking whether or not this team can do what Kevin Sumlin’s squads couldn’t can they go the distance?

Historically this is where the Aggies have stumbled. Riding high after a seemingly signficant September victory, they’ve found a way to lose to an unranked team year after year. Ole Miss will be ready to spring the upset, but they won’t have nearly enough weapons on either side of the ball to match up with Texas A&M’s tools.

Ole Miss got good news this offseason when star 2019 signee running back Jerrion Ealy picked the Rebels over testing the waters in the MLB. He could have carved an important role in the offense by this point in the season, but he alone won’t be able to replace the losses of AJ Brown, DK Metcalf and Demarkus Lodge.

These are two teams headed in very different directions. This time Texas A&M won’t get caught looking ahead.

Record: 6-1 (4-0)
