Power ranking the SEC after week 10: #4 - Texas A&M
The Aggies drop a couple of spots after their showing in Columbia. It was extremely out of character, as we all saw, in more ways than one. I’m not just talking about the deficit, but the game flow, what each team did well and didn’t do well, et cetera.
Texas A&M football now has a tough row to hoe without their best offensive player, Le’Veon Moss. WIth no. 8 out for the season, the Aggies will have to manufacture offense elsewhere.
Hopefully, being embarrassed as they were in Columbia, this defense comes out of the bye with a renewed focus. They’ll need it to tamp down Auburn (who, again, despite sitting at 3-6, has some danger to them as a team) and especially to take down Texas.
If the Aggies win out, though, they’re in the SEC championship game and possibly the playoff (depending on how some other things shake out, both squads in Atlanta may be headed to the CFP anyway). That will be much harder to do without Moss, but this is a team that has found different ways to win all year.
