People are putting a lot of weight on the TAMU game. Lou says if we beat TAMU, than that somehow translate to us winning two more games than his preseason prediction. I could make the argument that TAMU is likely not better than UNC, CLEM, or FSU. This associative property pundits put on teams is weird, but I get it. TAMU wears an SEC logo on their jersey so that gives them some superhuman qualities. Pundits have to dance for the company they keep.
TAMU is a tone-setting game for our season--but not much more than that. Injuries are going to dictate our season more than that TAMU outcome.
