2016 Win Total Discussion
OK, let's start talking about the 2016 season and the percentages on paper to win each game. Here's my first pass at the nine contested games on the schedule. With all due respect to Prairie View and UTSA, I'm assuming with almost 100% certainty that A&M will win those "money" games. That leaves us with the UCLA game and the SEC match-ups.

Six of the nine games I think A&M will be slightly favored or a toss-up game. And Alabama on the road is the only game where A&M will be a significant underdog.If you look at my percentages, I think you start the season with expectations of 9-3. I think A&M can and should win those first six games I listed, and I'm projecting the losses to LSU and Alabama. That leaves the Tennesseee game at Kyle Field as the big swing game.So let's start seeing some predictions from you. Which games do we win and what will be our final regular season record?
Wylie East RB Aubrey White measuring A&M interest
The 2016 Wylie East athlete's soaring stock led him from Kansas commit to the open market and then to Arizona State verbal. Now he's been in touch with the Aggies and is hoping to see reciprocal interest.
