TAMU or Mizzou?

Texas A&M came into 2013 with single score losses against 3 out of 4 regular season opponents and only one gaping loss to LSU. They then truged their way into the Georgia Dome to make a miracle comeback into one of the ACC's top contenders in the Duke Blue Devils putting the 2013 TAMU season up there with that of the 1980 miracle on ice. Nobody expected the astounding 9-4 season which is truely amazing in retrospect.

Mizzou on the other hand was never given a chance to compete for the SEC East. They were able to dismantle an injury plagued Georgia team and came within a hairs length of beating the only team on their schedule who may be classified as an SEC contender taking to the SECCG for a somewhat narrow but none the less sound loss. As the chips fell into place they maintained composure and were able to pull off a beautiful victory against one of the Big 12s finest in Arlington, TX. This season has been compared by many analysts as being on the same level as that of the 2006 George Mason basketball team.

Now rolling into 2014 many questions arise. With Manziel and Evans gone, majority of the team now having a parole officer, and another tough West schedule, will the Aggies be able to replicate their previous cinderella season?

Same with Mizzou. Somewhat new qb. Michael Sam no longer in the locker room providing comfortable and rejuvenating post game shoulder rubs. Tough schedule. Can Mizzou come out of the AT&T bowl with another W?

ETA: personally i feel missouri has the greatest chance (sans the seccg portion) of achieving this designation. A&M is too distracted by off the field issues and draconian traditions to focus on the real tasks at hand.

i don't think mizzou qualifies for a cinderella. they proved themselves last year.


i would say ole miss to be honest.

edit: didn't see the "again" part. A&M didn't have a cinderella season last year.

Don't try to hype Duke... Tamu had no reason to be down that much to Duke.

Wow. Not sure if serious. Duke had more solid wins then Oregon last season. They manhandled VT and Miami who were BCS contenders pre-season. Wake was no push over last season either.

I'll say Kentucky. They ahve the coach and the players to contend in the east. I think they beat either Florida or Georgia this year.

I know what you're saying, but it was a very memorable year by A&M standards. You can't really compare them to LSU or Auburn or UGA at this stage.

b/w the noobs, I would say aTm. Matty Mauk isn't a good QB. Hill is unknown, but it's not outlandish in the SEC to think a QB with no experience is better than a QB who's won some games.
