Still relatively new to the SEC, it probably won’t come as a shock that Texas A&M doesn’t have a deep history with a lot of the teams on its 2015 schedule.

The Aggies and Arkansas Razorbacks both were members of the Southwestern Conference once upon a time. A&M also frequently played LSU in the 1960s and ’70s.

Rivalries with other SEC teams such as Alabama and Ole Miss still are developing, which can be interesting in their own right.

Outside of the conference, there’s not a lot of familiarity between the Aggies and this year’s opponents. Texas A&M never has played Arizona State, Ball State or Western Carolina and this will be just the second-ever meeting with Nevada.

Coming off and 8-5 record last season, in which the Aggies went just 3-5 in the SEC, Kevin Sumlin’s team is looking for something of a bounce-back season. History doesn’t give us a lot to go on when predicting this year’s record. (Not that previous games will have an impact on the present anyway.)

But there are intriguing questions. Can the Aggies continue historical dominance of Ole Miss and Auburn? Will they improve on poor records against old rivals Arkansas and LSU?

Here’s a breakdown of Texas A&M’s history against every opponent on this year’s schedule.

2015 record according to history: 5-3-4*
Most unfamiliar opponents: Arizona State, Ball State, Western Carolina
Most familiar opponent: Arkansas
Most lopsided series: vs. Ole Miss

*Based on which team holds an all-time series advantage.

Sept. 5 vs. Arizona State (Houston): The Aggies get started with a tough game against a Pac-12 team expected to push for a conference title. Texas A&M should learn a lot about its team right away facing a Sun Devils team that knocked off Duke in the Sun Bowl last season.

Series history: First meeting between the teams.

Sept. 12 vs. Ball State: A&M’s first game at Kyle Field in ’15 has all the makings of a romp. Ball State is coming off a 5-7 season and is expected to finish in the bottom half of the MAC West. The Aggies should overwhelm the Cardinals.

Series history: First meeting between the teams.

Sept. 19 vs. Nevada: The Wolfpack went 7-6 and made it to the New Orleans bowl in 2014, but Nevada isn’t expected to be among the best teams in the Mountain West this season. The Aggies may hang around for a bit, but A&M should pull away for a reasonably easy victory at home.

Series history: Texas A&M leads, 1-0. The Aggies won 48-18 in 1950.

Sept. 26 vs. Arkansas (Arlington, Texas): The Aggies erased a 28-14 fourth-quarter deficit to win 35-28 in overtime, but the Razorbacks provided a strong blueprint for future opponents, one that precipitated a three-game losing streak.

Series history: Arkansas leads, 41-27-3. The most recent meeting was a 35-28 A&M victory last season.

Oct. 3 vs. Mississippi State: Texas A&M will look to contain MSU quarterback Dak Prescott and the Bulldogs offense, which put up 41 points on the Aggies a year ago.

Series history: The series is tied, 4-4, after the Bulldogs knocked off the Aggies last season in Starkville.

Oct. 17 vs. Alabama: They don’t get much tougher for Texas A&M than this visit from the Crimson Tide, which put a historic 59-0 beatdown on the Aggies a year ago. The Johnny Manziel-led upset of the Tide in 2012 would continue to slip further from people’s minds with another Alabama blowout.

Series history: Alabama leads, 5-2.

Oct. 24 at Ole Miss: The Rebels picked up their first-ever victory against the Aggies last season, winning 35-20. Texas A&M’s overall dominance in the series was helped by avoiding Ole Miss during its 1960s heyday.

Series history: Texas A&M leads, 6-1.

Oct. 31 vs. South Carolina: Last season was a struggle for the Gamecocks, including a 52-28 loss to the Aggies in the season opener. Steve Spurrier’s team is trying to turn it back around in 2015, but it won’t be easy. This Halloween meeting is a big one for a pair of teams without a lot of room for error.

Series history: Texas A&M leads, 1-0.

Nov. 7 vs. Auburn: Yet another tough game for the Aggies at Kyle Field, repeating last year’s victory against the Tigers will be a tall order for Texas A&M. Quarterback Jeremy Johnson should be settled into his role by the time this game comes around.

Series history: Texas A&M leads, 4-1, after a 41-38 victory at Auburn in 2014.

Nov. 14 vs. Western Carolina: Western Carolina visits College Station looking for a paycheck while the Aggies hope this one is an opportunity to rest starters and get some reps for second and third-stringers in what should be a huge blowout victory for Texas A&M.

Series history: First meeting between the teams.

Nov. 21 at Vanderbilt: These aren’t the Commodores of the peak James Franklin years. The Aggies caught a bit of a break getting one of the SEC East’s worst teams on their schedule. This has potential to become back-to-back easy wins for A&M.

Series history: Texas A&M leads, 1-0, after winning 56-21 in 2013.

Nov. 28 at LSU: Here’s another tough SEC West challenge, and this one on the road. The Aggies have had their struggles against the Tigers from Baton Rouge, including last year’s 23-17 loss. Picking up a win isn’t going to be easy this year either.

Series history: LSU leads, 30-20-3, thanks at least partially to hosting every game in the series between 1960 and 1975.
