5. Texas A&M


Culture shock won’t be a huge factor for the Aggies because two of their first three SEC games are at home against Florida and – keep an eye on this one – Arkansas on the last weekend of September. Should A&M navigate those first two games well and get comfortable in the SEC, there is enough offensive firepower to keep the Aggies in most games. They have to tighten up on defense and prove they have discovered the ability to finish games after all six losses in 2011 came by a touchdown or less, two in overtime. The Aggies won’t factor into the West race this season, but they aren’t that far away under Kevin Sumlin if they can get the defensive talent to match what they have stockpiled on offense. Look for a major A&M upset somewhere along the line.
