I wouldnt say that. A&M still is not great vs the run. Stats are better, because of sacks. In the UCLA game RBs went for 30-139 (4.63 per) and 35 for 183 vs Auburn (5.22). Still giving up around 5 yards per carry. That may show up vs LSU and Ark. The corners are not great, but that rush masks that. Pass coverage is much easier with the arguably the best pass rusher in the game on your team. DEpth is a huge issue, so it will be interesting to see if teams like Ark and LSU can wear them out. It is unlikely the offense if going to force the opposition to pass. I think if there are teams that can unexpectedly beat A&M, it will be power running teams.
I have a mixture of Tennessee being pretty decent and the big game vs Bama on the horizon for that one. I think they could drop the game vs Arkansas too, but decided on Tennessee instead. Decent chance they split those 2 games.
Aggie has never beaten LSU, which is why I chose them as a loss despite LSU's offensive ineptitude. I took Alabama for obvious reasons, and Ole Miss because they seem to be pretty good despite their inability to apparently hold on to 3 TD leads.
I think Alabama is going to roll over Tennessee. The Tide already have bulletin board material for that game. And we remember how that worked out for Kiffin and TennesseeI have a mixture of Tennessee being pretty decent and the big game vs Bama on the horizon for that one.

That actually is a lie spun by the Dallas Morning News
If Aggy was to beat LSU, this is the year. LSU blows.....
As much as LSU sucks, they will not lose to A&M. Sumlin can't get it done. The day he beats Miles is the day Miles job is open. Even when our team sucks, A&M and MSU are the only teams that never really scare me.LSU, not a chance...one of their crazed fans is going to pull a Nancy Kerrigan on Les Miles by week 6 or 7
Would not shock me to see Arky win.Aggy will be fine until they have some injuries.
This is THE YEAR for them to do anything, because they have pretty much NOBODY on that DL and LB core next year that's even worth mentioning.
Power run teams are going to give them issues, but they have improved considerably from last season. The problem is depth and a lack of talent on the bench.
We'll see how they handle Arky......but the collapse is usually in October
