You played inferior teams because you played in inferior bowls. While we were playing for the championship, your teams were going 6-6

Folks, this is the "double whammy".

Not only did you not get the point (the fact that A&M never lost to an inferior opponent), but clearly missed the fact that OKLAHOMA has played inferior competition in bowls more often than not.

Let me spell it out for Mr. Mensa again in terms of bowl opponents:

2012: A&M > Oklahoma
2011: Northwestern = Iowa
2010: LSU > UConn
2009: Stanford > Georgia
2008: Florida > no bowl
2007: West Virginia > Penn State
2006: California > Boise State
2005: Oregon > No bowl
2004: USC > Tennessee
2003: LSU > No bowl

The reason that Oklahoma has a better bowl record over the last 10 years is because they played lesser competition than A&M did

A&M has never lost a bowl game to an inferior opponent.

The only times in the last 25 years that A&M played an inferior opponent were 2012 (Oklahoma), 2011 (Northwestern), 2001 (TCU), and 1995 (Michigan). - ALL WINS

In contrast, Oklahoma played an inferior opponent in 2011 (Iowa), 2010 (UConn), 2009 (Stanford), 2007 (West Virginia), 2006 (Boise State), and 2005 (Oregon) in the last 10 years alone. That's more inferior bowl opponents in the last 10 years than A&M faced in the last 25. Not only that, but they lost two of those games.

In every other bowl, A&M played a far better team.
