Texas A&M Aggies may fall out of AP Top 25 by season's end
Summary

The Texas A&M Aggies, currently ranked in the preseason AP Top 25, face a challenging schedule that could hinder their success this season. With head coach Mike Elko leading the team and quarterback Marcel Reed returning, expectations are high. However, key matches against ranked opponents, especially those on the road, present potential obstacles for the Aggies. Their most difficult games include contests against No. 11 LSU, No. 13 Alabama, and No. 10 Oklahoma. While they will host two ranked teams later in the season, the Aggies must perform well to remain competitive both in the College Football Playoff race and the Big 12 Championship.
