Look, both sides didn't want to meet in the Cotton Bowl. Texas had been gaming it for weeks and A&M has much more to lose if that game were to happen versus playing in another bowl. This isn't about ducking a team, its about playing it smart for the long term.
By not meeting in high cotton...
A&M Upsides:
Mack Brown keeps his job
Beat down Michigan
No risk of wiping out the progress made in state
SEC Upside:
LSU and A&M beat down bowl opponents.
SEC's legacy lives on with little risk to either.
Texas Upside:
No one can definitively see the emperor has no clothes when they would inevitably lose to A&M.
They don't have to fire Mack and truly look like a program on the run.

I don't get it frankly
If I were an A&M fan I'd want to beat the snot out of Texas this year - FWIW I'm glad if A&M passes on this one since I'd like LSU to play Texas this year to get even for 2002
