A&M has 18 Conference Titles, 17 from the SWC and 1 from the Big 12. We had the 2nd most SWC Titles. We have 3 NC's but all were a long time ago. This is currently the longest stretch A&M has ever gone without a conference title in its history.
From essentially the 1910's into the 1940's A&M was a very good football team and that's when we won our NC's and a number of conference titles. from the end of WWII until the early 70's we sucked outside of the brief Bear Bryant era and a Cinderella season in '67. We were essentially an all male military school that got hammered because we had half the scholarships of some of the other schools we played. In the '70s is when we grew like crazy and started to consistently win (for instance A&M is tied with Texas over the last 35 games in the series). The mid '80s under Sherrill and then the '90's under Slocum we won 7 Conference Titles in 13 years (and were undefeated another season but ineligible for the Title).
Historically A&M is a Top 20 program essentially, it just has a very unusual history of ups and downs. Of course now we have far more money and resources than ever and we haven't been winning big. Of course there is still hope this season...

Coincidentally, I believe that was the 1994 season that A&M went 10-0-1. After the game this Saturday, A&M will be 6-0 for the first time since that '94 season.
