So put A&M anywhere but #1, and you're looking at "potential," Te'o-esque feel good stories, urban legends, whatever -- you're not looking at the data.
Or you're looking at B6 SEC games from last year, where Bama and LSU were the only teams to rush for 200 in any game, LSU 2x, Bama once.
aTm was third in rushing of the 4 teams primarily being discussed here in games against the other elites of the conference. The difference between the top and bottom of the conference was so great in 2012 that those are the only relevant games IMO.

"Did you gain 200 yards against 2 (maybe 3) specific teams in your conference?" That certainly seems like a sound statistic.
It takes 13-14 games to make a season. On the basis of the '12 season (and what everyone else is returning) my assessment still stands -- 200 yard rushing game against 'Bama or not.
