Social media reactions to Texas A&M football's 2026 schedule

While we wait for game week for the Texas A&M Aggies, we were treated to a glimpse into the future with the release of the much-anticipated 2026 SEC schedule. On Thursday night, a longer-than-necessary schedule reveal debuted the nine-conference game slate along with the home and away matchups. Everyone complaining about the SEC not playing nine conference games can now stop their bellyaching.

At first glance, two things stand out overall for the league: the difficulty of schedules appears more balanced, and the competitive landscape feels tighter. Of course, we have no idea who will ultimately rise to the top, but based on what we saw this season, the schedules look more evenly distributed.

Additionally, there will only be one bye week, which is a tough break if you still consider the SEC the premier league with the deepest pool of blue-chip talent. There will be no easy path, and it will be a true grind. Depending on whether the CFP decides not to expand, many SEC teams could find themselves on the outside looking in more often than before.

As for the Aggies, they did an excellent job of capitalizing on this season’s favorable schedule to punch their ticket to the CFP, because the 2026 slate on paper is considerably tougher from an opponent standpoint. However, a major positive is that there are no back-to-back away games, meaning Kyle Field will not sit dormant for consecutive weeks. Like everything, there are pros and cons to this schedule, but when it comes down to it, the grind will define the season. Spot the ball.

Below are some of the reactions to the 2026 Texas A&M schedule.
