It’s an exciting time of the year for college football fans as several preseason polls start to drop and we can flood social media to give our expert opinions on who got it right or wrong.
We are three Saturdays away from the season opener where the new-look Texas A&M football under the leadership of Mike Elko will host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Kyle Field. After a very successful offseason in the transfer portal to fill some needs, the Aggies will soon have the chance to show all their work and why most preseason polls have them ranked in the top 25.
Preseason polls are fun to review because there are always surprises throughout the season, from Cinderella stories to teams falling out of the rankings completely. So, let’s get the conversation started!
