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.

Because we all know recruiting wins games.
Texas has done mighty fine the past 3 years with all those 5 stars.
And Kansas State is succeeding this year on the backs of all those 4 and 5 star recruits... oh wait.
I'd rather have a coach like Bill Snyder who turns 2 star recruits into 5 star players than a coach who gets a lot of 5 star players like Mack Brown and doesn't do anything with them
Recruiting is overrated
