Texas A&M came in at No. 7 in last week’s USA Today AFCA Coaches Poll, and today the other major college poll, the Associated Press Top 25, released their preseason rankings. Unsurprisingly, the Aggies are high in this poll as well, coming in at No. 6.
OK, let's go! The preseason AP Top 25 college football poll presented by @RegionsBank will be released at noon Eastern TODAY!

A&M is the highest-ranked team in Texas, and is one of six SEC teams in the poll.
This is the fourth straight year that Texas A&M has been ranked in the top 15 in the AP’s preseason poll, after doing so only once in Kevin Sumlin’s six-year tenure and only twice this century (2011, 2013) prior to his arrival. The Aggies begin the season with games against Sam Houston State and Appalachian State before facing what many consider to be their first big test of the season when the Miami Hurricanes come to town on Saturday, Sept. 17.
