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.
