Best of teams: No. 18, Texas A&M

No. 18: Texas A&M

2014 RECORD: 8-5

PROJECTED 2015 RECORD: 10-3

CIRCLE THE DATE: Nov. 28 at LSU

WHY NO. 18: Smart head coach Sumlin went and hired himself a top defensive coordinator, pulling John Chavis away from LSU. Scoring has never been an issue for the Aggies, but stopping opponents has been. Chavis should help to turn the unit to at least a respectable level in a hurry. The offense will be led by sophomore quarterback Kyle Allen, who finished the 2014 season strong.
