Not sure if anyone else posted, but the 2020 schedule is out. 8 non-conference games with 3 teams that reached the NCAA tourney last year, including tough matchups with Oklahoma St and BYU. An opening road trip to Ohio St (who will be improved) and Illinois will be a nice test for a rebuilding A&M squad. Hawaii and Houston should be easy wins at home though. TCU is always tough and surprisingly Baylor has made a reappearance on the schedule after banning them for many years for physical play. At least it's a home game. I had forgotten how poor the SEC was last year with only 3 games against tourney teams, although we finally draw both South Carolina and Florida in the same season again, both at home. It will be interesting to see if Arkansas can maintain their quality from last year. The road schedule is not that tough with only Arkansas and Tennessee as really difficult opponents.
This is the first season that I can remember that I can't really get a read on how good A&M will be on the field. There are some pieces, young talent, and several transfers that make it really hard to project. For me the GK position is the biggest concern going into the season, followed by whom will be the go-to offensive player to ease the huge loss of Watt. Probably a realistic goal is to make the tourney and keep the streak intact.
