College Football season is nearing as evidenced by the first real poll of the 2016 season. While that is exciting, we are a little let down by Texas A&M’s omission from the Amway Coaches Poll. The Aggies will face five teams that did make the cut (Alabama [1], LSU [6], Tennessee [10], Ole Miss [12], and UCLA [24]). Crap!

Hey, at least the Aggies received three more votes than the Longhorns. Please don’t brag about this publicly.
