Texas A&M drops eight spots in the latest USA TODAY Re-Rank

Texas A&M has fallen eight spots in the latest USA TODAY Re-Rank, now sitting at No. 64, with only Vanderbilt and Arkansas performing worse in the SEC. The team has only managed one win against Arkansas in conference play and lost to South Carolina 17-9 in Week 10. Coach Mike Elko is under pressure to make changes, but during a press conference on Monday, he revealed that first-year offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins will retain his position and starting quarterback Marcel Reed will stay under center until the end of the year.

This decision likely stems from Wiggins' importance as a recruiter, particularly with the Early Signing Period approaching, and the departure of key offensive commits Aston Whiteside and Mark Matthews to Miami and Georgia, respectively. Texas A&M now faces a challenging road, beginning with hosting No. 13 Tennessee and playing Oklahoma in Norman before culminating in a home game against Texas. If the team concludes the season with a 4-8 record, further adjustments are expected.
