Florida LSU rematch would’ve been a better game than LSU UGA last year in ATL. Probably 13-17 point win for LSU still though.

I know this is difficult for a knuckle dragger like you to understand but I'm not "defending" them so much as pointing flawed/biased arguments against who ever made these bowl picks. If you get past the biased you just hate the Aggies and look just at football, they have a lot of returning players, usually experienced teams do better, especially with an experienced QB. Mond is not a great QB, but he's not terrible, I've seen a lot worse QBs win 9-10 games in this league (see 2010 LSU). but even if they play the exact same as last year, they should be 9-3 given they replace Clemson and UGA with Colorado and Vandy, so even that is not a reach for them to make a NY6 Bowl.

I see 3 Losses minimum Auiburn, Bama, and LSU

Agreed. I could see Arkansas or OM keeping it close as well

I’m not sure why you’re assuming they beat both of the Mississippi schools and Arkansas. All 3 of those games were very close last season. I don’t see A&M winning all of these games. Say what you want about returning starters etc. Returning players from an 8-5 team isn’t necessarily good if the coaching staff isn’t great at developing talent. Don’t they play AT Starkville? Yeah that’s definitely not an easy place to win if you’re not elite.

I’ll settle for one less loss than last season at 8-4 LSU, Alabama, Auburn, and State or Ole Miss.

Uga LSU and the third comes in an “unmotivated” NY6 bowl loss to a Big12 team like OU or UT. Book it.

Again they were #5 in the playoff rankings the last 2 years so picking them to move up to 4 is hardly a stretch or being "overrated".

UGA has greatly benefited from the East being so weak. They have had mediocre years and been highly ranked just because so many of their games have been against the failing East.

Throw them in the West, and they wouldn't be near the rank they were. Even this coming year, just Florida is the only team on an incline in potential, everyone else is crap in the East.

TAMu went from the hardest schedule to the easiest schedule.

I have LSU in a NY6 over them though.

Does anyone remember CFN's prediction last year for LSU? It may have been the Sugar Bowl.

Agree... While a lot of their schedule reads cupcake, I don't see them going into Auburn and stopping AU from scoring... and I am sure glad they have to go to Bama and then turn around and play LSU to end the season. 9-3 and please good lord let them have to play Texas in the Cotton.
