USA TODAY predicts Texas A&M football's 2026 record at 9-3

Summary

USA TODAY forecasts that Texas A&M will finish the 2026 season with a record of 9-3 overall and 6-3 in SEC play. The prediction emphasizes the importance of quarterback Marcel Reed's development and the team's ability to manage roster changes after losing 15 starters. A key challenge will be maintaining a strong home record and winning crucial road games, especially against the Texas Longhorns. Coach Mike Elko's second year aims to build on a successful previous season that included a playoff appearance. The Aggies' success will depend on the performance of new and returning players, particularly on the offensive and defensive lines.
