How many times have they finished third or higher in the SEC West? I would think they would celebrate fifth place until Dickey & Peveto get full control. Then third of fourth place is possible, particularly after Auburn fires Malzahn. If the BMD Aggies have any sense, they would be posturing to outplace Fisher to Aubuen after 2019 season. Then again, if they had any sense, they would have hired a real coach with a contract that did NOT make Billie Powers look almost smart.
They finished 3rd in one of Manzel's years, but I edited the positioning. aggy is counting on both Mississippi schools to be down for 3 or 4 years. What they possibly could be blindsided by are the rising-up of the pig people, and Muschamp finally righting South Carolina's ship (aggy's east "rival").
