Arguably the 5th best SEC West in Texas A&M went into Columbia and absolutely destroyed SEC East favorite South Carolina 52-28.

Have you seen the college football preseason AP and Coaches Polls? Well it was weird and not in a good way. Since the coaches poll came out first, I can only surmise that the AP voters used that as model. Maybe it was pure coincidence. Look at the CBSSportsline expert picks. The picks were all over the …
