1. Aggies-Wolfpack have never played before
NC State is one of 10 Power 5 programs A&M has never played before, but the two will meet soon. Interestingly enough, A&M played another team from North Carolina for the first time ever last year in a bowl game - Wake Forest. However, that game didn’t bode so well for the Aggies, who fell to the Deacon Demons, 55-52.
