For A&M, it's the 'Bama game. We will have faced Clemson, Arkansas, and Auburn along with two Little Sisters teams. I expect we have a small chance of beating Clemson and even odds beating Auburn. I'll go out on a limb and say that we should beat Arkansas. So A&M should be 4-1 and somewhere near the top ten assuming we can beat Auburn. I'm not saying that we beat Bama, far from it, but after the Bama game we'll know all we need to know about this team and it's character. Sure, later on we face UGa and LSU which will also be tough games but we'll know if we're a contender after 'Bama.
I'm thinking 8 wins on the bottom side, and 10 on the top side. Sure would be nice to beat any of Clemson, Bama, or LSU this year but not a deal breaker.
