Matt Mosley, contributor to SportsDayDFW.com and columnist for Texas Monthly, answered your questions during a live chat Tuesday. Here are some of the highlights:

Question: Seems like there's two camps of Texas A&M predictors: So are you the type who's more surprised that they didn't make the preseason Top 25, or stunned they even got three votes?

Mosley: It's tough to gauge the Ags because of [Kevin] Sumlin's habit of getting off to fast starts. There are so many questions about QB that it's hard to rank them very high. I think SI had them at No. 25, if I recall correctly. They have all sorts of speed at WR and RB. And they are actually extremely talented on the back end of that defense. Can they replace one elite-level DE and another really good one? That's a big question. And the QB position's a big one, too. Sumlin needs to go with [Kellen] Mond at some point. Just to keep the focus on the future.

Question: Likeliest to happen: SMU reaches a bowl game, Baylor wins eight games or TCU wins 10?

Mosley: There's a chance that all of those things happen. But I think the Mustangs have the best chance in that scenario. The AAC has lost some top coaches. The Mustangs already know how to beat the Cougars. They just need to keep the Naval Academy off the schedule after that debacle on The Hilltop. Chad Morris will win six games and then start campaigning with a month to go for every job in the country. What he really wants, of course, is the A&M gig. But the Ags have their sights a little higher. I think they will make a run at [Clemson's] Dabo [Swinney] if things go south with Sumlin. I'm not saying he would leave...but they will LOAD UP. After that, it might be the man with the pearly white teeth, Chris Petersen out of Washington.

Question: Best-case scenario for Matt Rhule's debut season at Baylor is ... ?

Mosley: I think eight wins would be phenomenal for Rhule. He has some talent, but the depth on the O-line is scary thin. You also don't have the usual deep threat of a Coleman or Cannon. Blake Lynch could be really good...but he doesn't have that type of speed. Platt does have the speed...but the hands have betrayed him at times. It will be really weird to watch them slow things down and try to eat clock at times. I think eight wins would be tremendous.
