If you have to say you are being honest with yourself. That's kind of a sign that you are not.

Kind of like meeting someone and they state you can trust me. LOL

Pretty much a sign that you cannot trust them. Ones that are honest don't have to tell people they are honest.

25 os only marginally harder than 24

It's early to just declare wins and losses over teams like Florida and Auburn who will improve a lot. But I agree, the premise that a SOS can drastically change without changing a single power 4 team on the schedule is dumb. People putting way too much stock in home/away swapping. Only focusing on the ND and Texas games being on the road. We lost road games this year we thought we should have won in Auburn and SC- guess what happens, those flip too. It all probably evens out to the same record, unless we improve as a team ourselves

We will know by third game.

Pretty simple to see 2025 is harder than 2024…
We play @ND, @lsu, @tu, @Mizz, @Ark..

We played all those same teams at home in 24, so pretty sure it's harder to play on the road. Plus, UF and SC both are trending up while we are trending down..

Why do you list every road game but not list SC, Auburn, Florida, Miss state as home games? Those become incrementally easier, no? We lost games we expected to win at SC and Auburn, in no small part because winning on the road is hard, what if those turn into wins? Of the road games you listed, we already lost to Texas and ND anyways, maybe we lose @ LSU and @ Mizzou. Then we are no different than 2024

Way way too early (our departing portal hasn't even technically closed let alone other teams on the schedule).

That being said

ND, Auburn, Texas, Miss St, Missouri all breaking in new QBs. I'd expect 3-2 vs those teams. ND loses a lot so it could be 4-1.

Arkansas will not be better and we get Florida at home. I think 2-0 in those.

Add in the three non conference games at 3-0.

That leaves LSU and SC. SC loses some impact players on defense and we get them at home. They'll be tough. LSU may or may not be better. They lose a lot on the OL and probably break even at WR with the portal. They've added some good pieces on defense but talent wasn't the main issue last year.

I think you're looking at 8-4/9-3.

Freeze always schemes A&M well. We have only beaten him with Johnny as the QB. Auburn is ANYTHING but a certain victory.

Not knowing what our roster will look like, nor our opponents it seems like a great time to make predictions as to what the record will be.

It seems like most are forgetting the Spring portal window.

6-6 to 8-4.

First two games tell us nothing. Be rest assured playoff talk will be rampant after winning both.
ND almost definitely a loss. Sky is falling talk will be rampant afterwards.

Finish 8-4. Mixed bag of sunshine and pots being banged.
Rinse repeat until the sun dies.

Aggiedub04 gets it

If Sellers still the cocks qb and Lagway with gators, those will likely be close home games!

Lagway wasn't great but showed promise so who knows how good he will be. Sellers will be back and if we don't improve tackling we will have issues with him.

When are we going to face it… every game, every schedule, every conference is hard for our Fightin' Texas Aggies.

I am usually quick to pull the trigger on 10-2 but I watched our d and can only see 6-7 wins here.

Auburn and UF are good enough to beat us at home next year. In fact I'd be willing to bet both would be favored in Vegas if they gave out odds today.

Beat Arky, LSU and tu and I'd be happy.

I get the OPs logic. But a schedule that is very reasonable to hit 9 or 10 wins doesn't matter. The Ags have been pulling 7 and 8 wins against that type of schedule for decades. And Elko just showed us he's more of the same.

I'd love to be proven wrong. But I'd be betting the under

We'd probably be at least a 3 point favorite over Auburn and UF it would be close i could see -2 to +2

2-1
2-1
1-2
2-1
+ bowl win

Let's walk through this.

Our first 3 games are as follows

UTSA
Utah St
@ND

We're 2-1 at least coming out or that stretch. Had we had Marcel starting we could have very well beaten ND this year. The lights were too bright for Wiggy.


The next 3 games are all at home

Auburn
Miss st
UF

That's a 3-0 stretch right there

So midway thru we are 5-1 or possibly 6-0 and ranked in the top 10


The next 3 games

@Arky
@LSU
@Mizzou

I'm going 2 and 1 in that scenario which puts us at 7-2

The next 3 games are
USCe
Samford
@tu

I'm going 2-1 in that group

Which means a 9-3 season. 3 loss teams just barely missed the playoffs this year.

And who knows we could beat ND or LSU.


How in the world is that more difficult than 2024?

---

8-4. So it has been written…

I don't understand how y'all engage with known trolls when they are dishonest and merely attempting to elicit a response that they can share on the rant.

UTSA W
Utah St W
@ND L
Auburn W
Miss st W
UF L
@Arky L
@LSU L
@Mizzou W
USCe L
Samford W
@tu L

6-6

A more fun game to play is: Do you think we beat the sips in Austin again in your lifetime?
I'm 50 so I'm going probably not.

This has to be a troll post.

Yeah like I said yesterday. Anything positive about the team is trolling on this board.

any discussion or projection for the 2025 season begins with:

at Notre Dame
at Arkansas
at Missouri
at LSU
at t.u.

what is the prediction for the 5 road games?
