CBS Sports writer Brad Crawford has identified Texas A&M as the most undervalued team in the SEC for the upcoming 2026 season. With the season opener against Missouri State less than six weeks away, the Aggies prepare under third-year coach Mike Elko. Texas A&M's offseason included a significant NFL Draft, with 10 players selected, and the addition of 17 transfers bolstering their roster. Despite having a talented lineup, including quarterback Marcel Reed and several new offensive line starters, the team faces a challenging schedule with tough road matches against LSU, Alabama, and others. The enhanced competition will test their strength in the new 9-game SEC format.
