They're the most exciting team to watch for the 2013 season imo. Exciting offense and Heisman winner JFF's Manziel's newfound celebrity status will have the whole country watching them. JFF is Kim Kardashian of college football.

Probably. Most of UA's games will be blowouts.

Depends if they live up to expectations. If they do then yes. If not, hell no.

Depends on if Manziel performs like last year.
Depends on matchup.
Depends on TV/kickoff time.

Alabama was in 4 or 5 of the most watched games last year. The only time A&M made the list is when they played Bama.

So, no.

Time slots have a lot to do with this. We had three of the top five rated games from last year, and the earliest start of those was 3:30 I believe.

I would certainly be shocked if Bama/A&M is not only the highest rated regular season game of the year but higher rated than any in a while. After that game will determine a lot in terms of who gets better ratings. If A&M wins then every A&M game will get very high ratings, if not then Bama will stay on top.

I will say that JFF is the most fun player to watch in the country by a good stretch though. You just never know what is going to happen when the ball is snapped and he is good for at least 3 WTF?!!? plays per game. Bama is greatness but not nearly as much sizzle on the steak.

Alabama is America's team...

Texas A&M isn't even TEXAS' team, so no.

People want to see this.










Bama's popularity will only decline from now on. Everybody is tired of Bama rednecks.

A&M also wasn't on the national radar until after Bama and didn't play anybody interesting until the Cotton Bowl (which got better ratings than 2 BCS Bowls). The UF matchup featured an unranked A&M team against a barely Top 25 UF team. The LSU matchup was at 11AM.

I do think there will be a lot of JFF fans and JFF haters that want to watch A&M every week.

JFF will be stripped of all relevance after he faces bama.
