re: Can Texas A&M win the west next year?

A&M WILL win the SEC west in 2013 - bookmark it.

Assuming (or perhaps expecting) A&M to have success after one year is setting up for a letdown. Sustaining success in the SEC takes time. How many teams are annually at the top of the standings? Teams have good years then not so good years. Breaks don't always go your way.

Despite my recent joining of the board, I have been a lurker for years. I remember when people were saying the same things about Alabama with Saban. "They aren't there yet." "We still have a couple of years until Saban is finished with the process." The next thing you knew, Saban had punched LSU in the mouth and was holding up a crystal ball.

Now I'm not saying that A&M is the next Bama, but I am saying that there is not some unwritten rule that the Aggies can't be a real threat until a certain number of years in the conference. Sumlin is the real deal.
