OUR FIRST MEN’S chart of the year had Texas A&M and Texas Tech tying for the team title, but that scenario changed markedly for iteration 2, the Aggies having a 9-point lead over defending champ Florida.
Things have changed mightily in Chart 3, Arkansas now being on top, featuring a 5-point margin over Alabama, with another 4 back to the Aggies.
Things could well come down to the climactic 4×4, what with Florida and A&M predicted to go 1–2 in that event.
