Athlon ranks A&M No. 20 in its top 25

Athlon Sports is currently in the midst of releasing its top 25 in waves, and Thursday's group did what ESPN and Sports Illustrated did not: include the Aggies. (Yeah, thanks guys.)

A&M landed not just in Athlon's top 25, but in the top 20 — No. 20 to be exact.

Of course, that's good for sixth in the SEC West according to the mag's breakdown, so the ol' chip on the shoulder can remain intact.

In a solid preview, Athlon notes Kyle Allen's development, competition from Kyler Murray and the hire of Dave Christensen should ensure another strong offense, while John Chavis' arrival, a talented defensive line and a deep group of safeties provide hope for an improved defense.

"Chavis has young talent with which to work but obviously faces a tall task," the preview concludes. "The Aggies have a high-scoring offense loaded with big-play threats, so they can be a serious contender in the SEC with a respectable defense. How quickly can Chavis deliver?

A&M's inclusion makes three SEC teams already listed in the Athlon Top 25, ahead of No. 21 Mississippi State and No. 22 Tennessee.

Hahahaha. #20 in the country and still 6th in the West. That's both sad and awesome at the same time. I love the SEC

It all depends on the defense ... I don't see how the offense won't be better this year.

Article should be called, Athlon Continues use of Old Nike A&M Logo in Lieu of Updated Logo with Centered A and M letters.

Placekicking is another matter. Taylor Bertolet has great range but questionable accuracy. He's converted just 4-of-12 field goal attempts between 30 and 49 yards and has missed 10 extra points.

Bertolet needs glasses... he keeps misreading the jumbotron as "extra punt".
