Aggies nowhere to be found in poll
By WesBloomquist in The Spiral

What else does Mike Sherman and the Aggies have to do to get some respect? They named Stephen McGee as the starting quarterback this week, making them one of the few teams in the country with a three-year starter under center.

Still, those folks at the Associated Press decided to leave them off its first top 25 poll of the season. Texas A&M didn't even get any votes. Even Tulsa, Arizona and Connecticut received some votes.

Coming in at the top spot is Georgia with Ohio State sitting pretty at No. 2 and waiting for a Bulldog defeat. Oklahoma is four with Sam Bradford back at quarterback and Nick Harris leading a strong defense for the Sooners, while Texas grabbed enough attention to come into the season at No. 11.

One spot back of Texas is Texas Tech at No. 12. Growing up in Texas and following college football, I never imagined a day when Tech would be ranked higher than the Aggies coming into any season.

I guess we'll see how it goes starting in two weeks. Who is your No. 1 team in the country and who do you think will win the Big 12 South?

    Not many folks have heard of a&m outside of Texas and college station. I am sure they could move up to say---24.
