Wallace Backs SEC Win-Total Overs for Texas 9.5, Texas A&M 8.5 and LSU 8.5

Summary
Three SEC preseason picks from Trey Wallace all lean over: Texas at 9.5 wins, Texas A&M at 8.5 and LSU at 8.5 after media days wrapped.
Texas gets the strongest endorsement because Arch Manning surged late in 2025, and Steve Sarkisian now has a roster built from multiple top-five recruiting classes plus the No. 3 portal haul.
Texas A&M's case rests on Mike Elko coming off an 11-win season and playoff berth, with veteran quarterback Marcel Reed and a defense Wallace says returns top-20 production.
LSU carries the most pressure at 8.5 after hiring Lane Kiffin and landing the No. 1 transfer class, with Wallace arguing anything short of a College Football Playoff berth would disappoint.
September tests could quickly validate or sink those bets: Texas hosts Ohio State in Week 2, while LSU opens with Clemson and Ole Miss among its first four games.
