With the preseason USA Today Coaches Poll, some might say the Texas A&M Aggies have to gain some respect. Even though Texas A&M fans may not like being ranked at No. 21, that probably comes from Texas A&M always riding into the season with high hopes, only to flop late in the season.
Of course, even if the Aggies were hyped up during SEC Media Days, they still have to earn respect and stay consistent all season long.
Veteran college football writer Brett McMurphy has defied the poll entirely and put Texas A&M just outside the top 10.
