I think it's equal.
I couldn't disagree more.
OU and Texas are peer programs. A&M has done nothing that has mattered in college football in any of our lifetimes.
If at the start of any season, you were to tell me we could have a victory over only 1 of the 2, I would take the victory over OU.

In recent years no, but there have been several instances in the past where OU/Texas had national championship implications.
Texas/Texas A&M is just a game for the Horns, and is a Super Bowl for the Aggies. It’s the equivalent scenario for Oklahoma/Oklahoma State.
There’s a lot of prestige, bragging rights, and in some cases, impacts on the national championship/college football playoff landscape in the RRR.
This is the first time since 2011 where both teams are undefeated when facing each other. This has the feels of 2000-2009 all over again.

As is your right...but you can't visit any horn or aggie board without threads talking about how we don't care if we ever play again. Total bs. That rivalry means a hell of a lot to a lot of people on both sides.
