247Sports predicts Texas A&M football to suffer upset loss, win massive rivalry game

247Sports full game predictions has Texas A&M football finishing with nine wins; how do Aggies get there?

We now sit at exactly two months and two weeks until Texas A&M football kicks off against Notre Dame at Kyle Field on August 31. Most Aggies have their minds firmly set on the goings-on in Omaha at the moment; all but six fanbases, however, are already looking forward to the football season.

With that in mind, a recent article from 247Sports has begun to make the rounds, wherein the author projects the 12-game results for every single team from the SEC. Where do the Aggies fall in this projection?

According to this article, the Aggies are in an interesting spot. Though they are being projected to finish 7th—the middle of the pack in the conference—the author also has the Aggies finishing 9-3. Perhaps the most intriguing part is that this is with Texas A&M football winning three out of four of their pivotal home games.

The article lists the Aggies’ three losses as Auburn, Florida, and… LSU. That means they are granting the Ags wins over Notre Dame, Missouri, and Texas. Interestingly, they are projecting the Aggies as the Longhorns’ only loss of the season, meaning they think the Horns will knock off Michigan, Georgia, and OU only to lose in College Station.

I’ll be honest, I think this specific result is pretty unlikely. While I do have the Aggies winning the renewed rivalry, I don’t think the Longhorns make it to College Station with any fewer than two losses from that stretch in particular. I also find it hard to believe that the Aggies will fall to Florida—Auburn, however, I could see.

9-3 is in no way out of the question; however, I don’t think the Aggies come by it in exactly this manner. I’d be much more likely to believe that the Ags drop two of the big home games and only one on the road than vice versa. 

I’m still torn between a projection of 10-2 and 11-1 for that reason—the home schedule is a big reason I have faith in the Ags to perform well in these big games. I think they should be favored in each road contest, as well, but I think it’s possible they suffer an upset at some point.

This is an article replete with some bold predictions, but I don’t see this one coming to pass in this exact way. 9-3 could be the end result for Texas A&M football, but I don’t think it happens just like this.
