The important part of the football season is finally here.
Over the next few weeks, the top 15 to 20 teams in the country will start to separate themselves from the rest of the pack as conference play really starts to heat up. Coming into this weekend, Texas A&M is ranked 16th ahead of a road game at Mississippi State, a team riding a two-year winning streak over the Aggies.
In the Big 12, No. 6 Texas still sits atop the crowded standings. Three one-loss teams sit behind the Longhorns
