Would A&M be undefeated if they stayed in the Big XII

Or is their schedule just smoke and mirrors outside of their two losses??
Seems like they are playing well in this league, but I wonder if they are overrated...

kstate is the only good football team in the big 12 this year. their usual upper tier guys (tejas, okie) and okie lite are mid tier guys this year. yea, if a&m were in teh big 12 they would be challenging for the title. actually, sherman did a good job with recruiting, esp offense recruiting. he was a good judge of talent. just didn't respect the other side of the ball and put his best players on offense at the expense of defense. plus, the players didn't esp relate to the guy.

Would've lost to Oklahoma and one of the spread teams. I think they would've beaten KState due to matchups.

Could be.. guess we'll never know.
I'd like to see them match up with a B12 team in a bowl and just crush them.

I don't think we'd be undefeated. We would probably be a 10-2 or 9-3 type team.

I'm really glad we will never know. Watching some B12 games this year all I could think about was how happy I was A&M was out of that league, we were a terrible cultural fit there.
That said, we would have been really good. The schedule would have had both KState and OU at Kyle (as well as Tech) and honestly I don't think any of the other teams would stay on the field with A&M. We may have struggled with some of the pass crazy teams but none of them play any defense AT ALL.
Honestly I would feel more proud of finishing 2nd in the SEC West than winning a Big 12 Championship though. The step up has been tough but at least if we can find a way to win we are likely looking at a NC opportunity. Even if the Big 12 manages to get a team in the Natty this year or going forward that team likely will get spanked. They just aren't getting the athletes they did a few years ago and the trend is getting worse at a rapid rate. It looks like A&M is going to be doing more selecting than recruiting in '14 in Texas and other SEC schools plus Oregon and USC are in the mix as well. Not much left over for Texas much less the rest of the Big Dumpster Fire.

Would not be undefeated in the Big 12. Also, not overrated this year.
Last years A&M team would have done better in SEC last year. Ags scored points.. lots of them. Ags played very good run defense. Our secondary was horrible. A&M had over 600 total yards vs Ark last year with 360 rushing.
This years A&M team scores lots of points. This year we play pretty good run defense. Problem we have is still in the secondary, pass defense still isn't that good. Much improved but still not that good. SEC teams just aren't pass happy and aren't built to take advantage of Ags defense biggest weakness. A few Big 12 teams would throw for 400+ against us so no undefeated season in Big 12. La Tech was a nightmare for our defense because they throw like a Big 12 team.
Other A&M weakness is depth on D. If Ags offense doesn't stay on field vs Bama, then Bama size and strength takes it toll on us and we have big problems. Time of possession is crucial for us. Need to avoid 3 and outs.
Finally, we have a major problem in our kicking game this year. You will see this firsthand on Saturday.

KState is them but with better game control and a better defense. Other than that, probably. Texas is all of a sudden playing inspired defense...

Don't know and don't care. We are a member of the SEC and proud of it.

I think they could have been playing in the championship if they would have stayed in the Big XII.
