Aggies were ranked No. 5 in the SEC preseason poll

The Texas A&M Aggies seem to be experiencing some hype as the basketball season begins.

After finishing 13th in the preseason AP poll – the fourth-highest ranking in the SEC – they also finished high in the preseason SEC poll, coming in at No. 5.

Interestingly, both surveys seem to disagree. The AP claims the Arkansas Razorbacks are ranked 16th, three spots behind the Aggies, but the SEC's version has the Aggies one spot behind the Razorbacks.

The full SEC survey results are below:

1.Alabama
2. Auburn
3. Tennessee
4.Arkansas
5. Texas A&M
6.Florida
7.Texas
8.Kentucky
9. Ole Miss
10. Mississippi State
11.South Carolina
12. Georgia
13. Missouri
14. LSU
15.Oklahoma
16. Vanderbilt

The Aggies begin the season ranked in the AP poll and in the top five in the SEC for the second straight year. Last season, the Aggies entered No. 2 and finished the year No. 7.

In the AP Poll Top 25 preseason rankings, No. 13 Texas A&M was one of nine SEC teams in the preseason top 25, along with No. 2 Alabama, No. 11 Auburn, No. 12 Tennessee, No. 16 Arkansas and No. 19 Texas, No. 21 Florida, No. 23 Kentucky and No. 24 Ole Miss.

The pressure is great and it is now up to Buzz Williams and Co. to react to it.

Texas A&M men's basketball will open the regular season on Monday, November 4th on the road against UCF.
