A&M has finished ranked in the AP Poll 28 times

Top 25 - 28 times
Top 10 - 12 times
Top 5 - 4 times

Texas has finished ranked in the AP Poll 50 times

Top 25 - 50 times
Top 10 - 27 times
Top 5 - 18 times

Total times both have finished ranked in the same AP poll

Top 25 - 13
Top 10 - 1 (1941)
Top 5 - Never

Number of times both teams were ranked when the game was played: 10

In summary: Both teams cannot be good in the same year. For one to do well, the other has to fail.

A&M isn't a nationally relevant program

I guess this means A&M is going to suck for a while....

It would also be fun for you to do OU vs Texas and tell us why that rivalry is a big one.

Then use same methodology for the OU/Aggy rivalry.


Then Search for “lowest” common denominator.

The Horns are a Blueblood National power. The Aggies ain’t

It's a nice rivalry game
Both teams have a shot at goodness to keep it a good game for a Thanksgiving time game year in year out.
Go ags

As a football fan and a fan of tradition I’m glad this game is back on. Realignment has killed so many good rivalries. I will be cheering for A&M because the Texas fans are horrible.

Nice job OP of presenting statistical data to the discussion. Unfortunately most of the insufferable smooth brains here at SECRant can’t discuss anything without pure shite talk. They must sit around staring at clocks.

Outside of Texas nobody knows Aggy except they are a cult and don’t have the women cheerleaders
