If A&M stays healthy and the portal players fit in, I like the odds of making another playoff run.

I agree...if we have a good team then I like the odds of us being a good team! Gig 'em!

is it this time of year already lol

100 pct of the time, we will win it all next year

Optimism to make the playoffs is not allowed on this board. Also, you're not allowed to be happy about how we just made the playoffs. Learn the rules.

And my gawd the bus ride the players have to endure for an away game…

I swear our hope correlates with the price of bitcoin. Every damn year.

Let's hope it doesn't depend on winning the sip game

Many of which are better than Elko/Reed. Not to mention the surrounding talent, particularly at LSU.
Cute post though.

Is losing the first game "going on a run"?

It's best to truly fully expect 7-5 and watch the season unfold.

Expecting 15-1, 14-2, 13-3 likely goes poorly for you.

We could be really good, but I'm going to expect 7-5 or 8-4 and enjoy it if it's better. Not like I have any control of it. I can only control expectations.

No more Klein. We get to start fresh with someone who can maybe take advantage of a defense every other team can handle.

Be like me and expect 3-9 and you'll (most likely) never be disappointed

I'm 41 years old, and I've never experienced a season worse than 4-8, so every year is a success!

Every SEC team will have a tougher schedule with 9 conference games and 1 game against a Power 4 nonconference team. I think we have a floor of 7-5 (6-1 home and 1-4 away) and a ceiling of 10-2 (7-0 home and 3-2 away) with likely road losses to Alabama and Oklahoma and swing games against LSU (away), South Carolina (away), and Texas (home). My way-too-early 2026 prediction is 9-3 (7-0 home and 2-3 away) with road losses to LSU, Alabama, and Oklahoma.

Tautologies are filled with circular reasoning still???

A&M's success next year will all come down to the rebuilt offensive line.

If we can put together a good OL, we will have some success and possibly make the playoffs.
If the OL is not good, expect the usual 7-5 to 8-4 type season where we lose most of the tough games.

Add in if the defense can stop the run. I agree the OL is important, but the run defense was awful last year. Clean that up and it will be a good season. 9-3 is the floor next year imo.

Nobody is predicting a playoff run for us. Could we make one? Sure.

Really, making the national title games is our floor next season.

9-4

Too bad this was the year…..

Marcel would need to progress with his footwork and Owens will need to get his balance figured out. Defense will be good, Hemphill is basically Elko's pupil. He allowed 13 PPG even with allowing 50 to North Carolina in 2024, even though he held NC practically scoreless In the second quarter.
The only question mark on this team will be Wiggin's play calling. We know that even though Marcel has his flaws, he can at least win us 9-10 games. The schedule this year though is throwing Wiggins through the gauntlet of the SEC. If he is good, we'll know pretty quickly

Exactly

You need to be miserable over the 2 losses , bagging on Reed and questioning everything Elko does
