Texas A&M's final four games of the regular season continue to look like the toughest slate in SEC play, starting with South Carolina on the road in Week 10, followed by Tennessee at home, Oklahoma in Norman, and Texas at home to wrap up the 2026 season, if the Aggies fail to win six games for bowl game eligibility.
During the Aggies' bye, ten SEC teams played in Week 9, including South Carolina facing off against Oklahoma in Norman, and while the Sooners have been one of the more formidable home teams in the conference, the Gamecocks offense has been unstoppable over its last three games, all wins, capped off with Saturday's 45-25 blowout win over the Sooners.
After starting the year off at 2-3, starting quarterback LaNorris Sellers, who Aggie fans are well associated with after the last two meetings, is playing the best football of his career at the right time, throwing for 301 yards and three touchdowns, combined with 96 yards and two more scores on Saturday.
Yes, Texas A&M's 31-30 comeback win over the Gamecocks nearly cost head coach Shane Beamer his job, but if South Carolina beat A&M in Week 10, his job may be secure going into the 2027 season. South Carolina's offense depends on LaNorris Sellers through the air and on the ground, which has challenged A&M's defense over the past two seasons.
Texas A&M's secondary came into last Saturday's road matchup vs. Alabama, ranked 10th nationally, but QB Keelon Russell targeted the Aggies' linebacker and nickel rotations for over 160 yards and two touchdowns. I expect LaNorris Sellers to make mistakes but have success on scrambles while taking plenty of deep shots.
On the other side, senior quarterback Marcel Reed will continue as the starter, so it's hard to predict what Texas A&M's offense will look like, but freshman running back KJ Edwards will be the focal point once more.
