Power ranking the SEC after week 12: #4 - Texas A&M

The Aggies started off gangbusters with their full complement of personnel in what was admittedly a game against an overmatched opponent. After a completely red-hot start, though, A&M cooled off for a bit.

Of course, that period of cooling corresponded with the Ags significantly paring down the personnel they were using, especially at the running back spot. Amari Daniels, after racking up an explosive 5 rushes for 84 yards, was promptly encased in bubble wrap and stored in a cool, dry place where he will safely remain until the Ags leave for Auburn this weekend.

Though things felt like a slog for some of this game, this was still a pretty dominant win, statistically speaking. That’s what you’re supposed to do when you’re a team ranked in the top 15, and so the Aggies stick in their spot.

This next game against the Tigers will be no easy feat, and neither will the final contest against Texas. A&M will have to have their ducks in a row to take down both of those teams.
