[quote]That was an absolute travesty. The BCS 'Human Poll' portion of the voting controlled by the Coaches was undeniably influenced by the lobbying for the 3rd place SEC team to get in over a 12-1 Big 12 Conference champion who destroyed Oklahoma by 6 touchdowns in the Conference championship game....

[quote]Don't know that it cost them a "national title" but the '75 Aggie team ranked #2 lost to Arkansas 31-6 and most likely cost the Ags the opportunity to play for a national title.
Hogs weren't bad, ranked 18 at the time, went on to win the SWC title and smoked UGA 31-10 in the '76 Cotton Bow...

I don't count 1992 as we would have still finished behind an undefeated Bama team who just knocked off #1 Miami.
A win against 5th ranked Notre Dame would not vault us over. ...

There are a few that standout but none would have meant a national title game at least
1998 - We had one close season opening loss to #2 Florida State and were undefeated until we puked one up against Ricky William and Texas at the last second.
We still beat #2 K State in the Big 12 title ga...

re: First Ever Win for each SEC Football Team
Posted by Windy City on 4/22/24 at 1:51 pm
A&M basically played high schools and very small regional universities in its first five seasons of football in the 1890s. We didn't play a full slate until 1899 when we put LSU on the schedule.
The A&M LSU history goes back a ways (along with Baylor and Texas). ...

I am getting older, so I may be the only one that remembers Aundray Bruce from Auburn as the biggest #1 overall bust.
He did stay in the league for awhile, but never made a pro bowl and never really produced much. The Falcons passed on multiple future hall of famers including Tim Brown, Michael ...
