The media’s picks for how SEC teams will fare this coming season were released at the conclusion of SEC Media days last week, and Texas A&M is unsurprisingly picked to finish second in the SEC West behind the Alabama Crimson Tide.
SEC East
| TEAM | PTS |
|---|---|
| TEAM | PTS |
| Georgia (124) | 923 |
| Florida (7) | 784 |
| Kentucky (2) | 624 |
| Missouri | 555 |
| Tennessee | 362 |
| South Carolina (1) | 355 |
| Vanderbilt | 149 |
SEC West
| TEAM | PTS |
|---|---|
| TEAM | PTS |
| Alabama (130) | 932 |
| Texas A&M (1) | 760 |
| LSU (1) | 633 |
| Ole Miss (1) | 529 |
| Auburn | 440 |
| Arkansas (1) | 241 |
| Mississippi State | 217 |
This is the first time that the Aggies have been picked second in the West since 2013 (when they entered Johnny Manziel’s second season as a top five team). A&M will once again enter this year with a top 10 ranking and SEC/national title aspirations.
