SEC analyst forecasts tough season for Texas A&M in 2026
Summary

Cousin Shane, co-host of That SEC Podcast, predicts Texas A&M will struggle in the 2026 season, forecasting a record of 7-5 that may barely secure a bowl game. Despite coach Mike Elko's previous success, the choice to elevate Holmon Wiggins to offensive coordinator and Lyle Hemphill to defensive coordinator faces skepticism. Texas A&M has a challenging schedule ahead, including road games against LSU, Alabama, and a season finale against Texas. Analysts have varied opinions on the team's outlook after last year's College Football Playoff appearance.
