Why is the Texas A&M suddenly considered terrible by tRant?

This is the same Texas A&M offense that had almost 500 yards of offense and 10 more first downs against the vaunted Ole Miss defense.

Is it just because Alabama dominated them that the Rant feels the need to downplay their accomplishments coming into the game?

Their 3 losses are against the 1st, 3rd, and 4th ranked teams in the country and even after getting shutout, they rank 19th in the country in points and even with only 140 yards passing, they are still in the top 5 in that category.

I assume your question is rhetorical given your post implies you already have knowledge of what the answer is.

For starters they've lost 3 in a row and 2 days ago they lost 0-52.

59-0*

And to 3 of the top 4 teams in the country. How many teams could even win 1 game playing the Mississippi's and Alabama in a row at this point in the season?

Could it be that they were falsely considered good in the first place, by some, and are now falling back in line with what they should be

Had to check the date on this post... If you were alive on Saturday and still alive today, you know A&M is an awful football team.

Or maybe, just maybe, Alabama put it all together.

If they really are an awful football team, maybe we are overrating Ole Miss and Miss. St. based on their games against A&M.

From Sumlin's own mouth:

"We're not where we want to be"

"We're not going anywhere anytime soon"

Prophetic words

Not at all.

It's just funny to see the past couple weekends.

Miss. St. beats A&M - "Whoaaaa Miss St. is legit!"

Ole Miss beats A&M - "Whoaaa this Ole Miss team is for real!"

Alabama beats A&M - "Man A&M sucks, Alabama is overrated, Sumlin really isn't a HUNH coach anyway. Saban only wins against bad HUNH teams. "

An overrated South Carolina team and they also barely beat Arkansas.

Texas A&M was overrated to start with.

It's right here in this thread.

aTm just hasn't even been competitive lately, despite the fact that their opponents have gotten weaker over the last 3 weeks.
