Probably because they took the #3 team in the country down to the wire and got blasted by Bama and we play them in their back yard.

Also, the have Jimbo and an offense that looks pretty dangerous.

They're absolutely the best unranked team I can remember. They probably won't lose again leading to our match-up with them.

AandM has more money like Alabama. Equates to national recognition without doing anything to prove themselves.

I see it as the next best pick of the week to beat LSU. Nothing more.

But Fisher has proven himself. You're not making much sense.

By November their roster will be decimated by SEC injury and the talk of rebuilding roster will be the beat of the week.

Fisher took over a dynasty type program. I do make sense.

I didn't say it would be impressive, just pointing it out.

They're favored because of their offense and LSU's perceived lack there-of.

IMO the perception (obviously) is that LSU will continue to fade as the season progresses. I mean it appears there is this thinking that LSU O/L woes will only increase and narrow Ensminger's offensive game plan to a sort of one dimensional scheme. Something like.....bang once, bang twice the line....incomplete pass.....punt. Sure, I'm just speculating, but a crippled O/L will just wear a team down, gas your defense and just grind your team down (aka Bama)

I'm hoping LSU can get everybody on the O/L healed...you know Magee, Charles. My concern is the reserve O/L talent especially at tackle. Looking over the depth chart I don't see where guys like Jakori Savage getting some snaps. Or how about Cameron Wire and Dare Rosenthal? My knee jerk reaction is Coach Oaux says he'll play the best guys. So at RT for example is Badara Traore a better player than Savage? Because if he is then LSU is fricked.

But on the positive side Coach Gregg is the guy who can patch this O/L enough to get LSU through some tuff games.

We'll see.

Now that MSU got exposed and LSU beat Auburn, some folks need another SECW team to latch onto to continue doubting LSU.

Revisit what? clearly we are not on the same page, with A&M the direction of the program will not change in 2 games. Obviously you are a hater predicting they will lose every game, seeing as even Sumlin wouldnwin 4-5 SEC games I would say they will probably win a few.

I’m not predicting them to lose every game...the results will be very Sumlin esque at the end of 2018.

You talking about FSU?

Fisher returned Florida State to its glory years, inheriting a program that was 7-6 in three of Bowden’s final four years. But even after going 12-2 in 2012, many were questioning if he was the right man for the job.

Two years later, he become the toast of Tallahassee. Fisher had just completed a three-year run in which the Seminoles were 39-3, won three ACC titles and the 2013 national title with the program’s first undefeated season (14-0) and had a 29-game winning streak.

But even the down years (2015, 2016) meant just three losses

Nope. USing your sense, Saban isn't doing anything special at Alabama.

If A&M continues to struggle and lose games, other than becoming a contender, the 2nd most important checklist item is to beat LSU. Jimbo could lose to Arkansas and Moo U, but if they beat LSU the Aggie faithful will be all smiles until next year.

Everyone knows Jimbo wants this game bad after Alleva and King and Moffits Twitter comments.

Jimbo has the boys playing very well. He's going to go in dry.

2016 2017 2018...that’s 3 years.

When I hire people we use the most recent experience when comparing candidates(aka last 3 years). I don’t care if Karen worked in cath lab in 2000 and was nurse of the year.
