South Carolina

Wins Not Yet Acheived:
Tennessee

Pretty much just a win over UF, a ranked win over Auburn, and then a bunch of teams with losing records. Not entirely different than what ours would look like (Though instead of Florida, we'd have SMU + one more likely ranked win)

There's a lot of football yet to be played, and, frankly, I would not be surprised if A&M dropped a "WTF" game against either Tennessee, Ole Miss, or LSU...not to mention Auburn.

I just don't think A&M is bulletproof.

Bolded, agreed. And if the SEC is as great as we're told by their faithful fans and media each year, A&M should reasonably lose one or two of those games.

I did look up a power ranking somewhere and was amused that A&M ascended in the rankings by beating a South Carolina team that ranked well below Houston. We were the beneficiaries of such generous perceptions of conference strength when it came to basketball in the Big East. Unfortunately, AAC football is on the wrong side of that argument.
