Halfway through the college football season, we have learned a lot about the national landscape, including a top tier all gunning for a CFP spot. The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach analyzes the slate for a Saturday with the potential for upsets.

A strong Week 7 slate of games has provided more clarity for college football fans trying to separate the contenders and pretenders. Olin Buchanan takes a look at the college football landscape including his Heisman and CFP projections.

After a lackluster first few weeks, big-time college football games finally return to the schedule this week with a handful of Top-25 matchups. Olin Buchanan takes a look at what we've learned through the first half of the season and this weekend's biggest contests.

Arkansas quarterback Nick Starkel wore maroon the last few seasons and now will face his friends and teammates as the Aggies and Hogs square off on Saturday. Once a rarity, transferring players facing their old teams is becoming normal.

It's rivalry week in college football and teams like Michigan and Ohio State have a trip to their conference championship on the line. Both teams come in 10-1 to the matchup and try to keep playoff hopes alive. Plus Olin's Heisman watch list and playoff predictions.

In Tempe the Aggies showed how furious of a charge they can make when focused. They also showed how a lack of discipline and poor shot selection can create a deficit no charge can overcome. Now, Billy Kennedy and the Texas A&M staff have a week to make corrections.

No. 18 Texas A&M (7-1) is all set to head west to take on Herb Sendek's Arizona State Sun Devils (5-2) in another key out-of-conference clash. On Friday Billy Kennedy and Alex Caruso spoke with the media about the matchup and the Aggies' preparations.

When the 18th-ranked Aggies roll into Tempe, Ariz. to face the Sun Devils and their 'Curtain of Distraction,' it will provide Texas A&M's second true test of the season. The key to replicating — or exceeding — last season's close win in College Station lies in one simple concept.

It was a wild weekend in college football, one that saw more structure added to the playoff picture — and the SEC West race. Most notably, TexAgs' resident Heisman voter opines, the trophy could once again be up for grabs.

During Thursday's edition of TexAgs Radio, John Harris of the Houston Texans and thesidelineview.com joined the show to share his thoughts on why A&M wreacked havoc on the ASU offense last Saturday night.

When the dust settled in Houston, the only thing that had surpassed the hype of John Chavis' Texas A&M debut was the reality. And while most of what made the Aggies successful was from the classic Chavis playbook, the talent on the roster allowed for a few new wrinkles.

As if you hadn't consumed all the maroon kool-aid available, TAMUHighlights has poured yet another pitcher for your viewing pleasure.

The turnaround John Chavis engineered in the Texas A&M defense is so stark as to seem whiplash-inducing. With depth, talent and confidence dominantly on display against a strong offense, the Aggies' ceiling appears much higher.

At times it little resembled the polished machine that has defined Kevin Sumlin's tenure in Aggieland, but the Texas A&M offense nonetheless put up 31 points on a swarming defense. Now the Aggies' focus turns to fine-tuning the outlying issues.

On Monday's edition of TexAgs Radio, Texas A&M defensive line coach Terry Price joined the show to discuss the performance of his defensive line in Saturday's 38-17 victory over the Arizona State Sun Devils.

Saturday's star-studded showdown in Houston served as an introduction from Kevin Sumlin's resurgent Aggies. TexAgs takes you back inside the game's top plays and moments from a field-level angle, as seen on CW-8 Aggieland.

Led by a ferocious pass rush and timely plays from a pair of Arizona products, Texas A&M opened with a statement win. Why should your enthusiasm not be tempered this time around? The answer is a simple one.

The Aggies impressed fan and doubter alike in a strong defensive showing and late offensive burst in Houston — but just how much improvement did they show? Across the board, the stats say: a significant amount.
