Is 10-2 an unrealistic record expectation for Texas A&M football in 2024?

How high can Texas A&M football's win total go in 2024? Will the Aggies reach 10 wins?

If you've read this website for any period of time, you probably know that I have high expectations for Texas A&M football in this upcoming season. I think that it is very possible that they reach double-digit wins this year, given all the factors working in their favor.

Those factors include the return of Conner Weigman, who I believe to be one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, as well as the fact that he will be playing in Collin Klein's offensive system. A revamped OL under new tutelage should be a boon as well. Add in the fact that the defense for this Aggie squad should be nothing less than absolutely nasty, and there's a lot of good you have going for you here.

That's not even to mention the schedule piece of things. The Aggies get all of their toughest games at home in the upcoming season, with the hardest road trip being to what will likely be a middling Auburn team near the end of the season. Notre Dame, Texas, LSU, and Missouri will all be home games.

In a recent podcast from The Athletic, Ari Wasserman, Kennington Smith (both of The Athletic), and Ralph Russo (of the AP) discussed what are realistic and unrealistic expectations for the Aggies in this upcoming year. You can find the link in the tweet below, as well as a small preview video.

In the "unrealistic" category, they give the idea that the Aggies go 10-2—however, 9-3 is in the "realistic" camp. I personally think the Aggies can get to that 10-win mark—when you break it down through the lens of "winning the road games you're supposed to, and splitting the big home games," this seems like an eminently achievable goal.

I understand suspicion from the national media types on this Aggie squad—it's a reputation well-earned after the Jimbo years. However, I think the days of underachieving the talent on campus are well past us.
