First off, despite their success, the team finish THIRD in their division, all while fielding their most talented team in decades, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

I really hate playing the "what if" game but you guys sometimes make it unavoidable. What if A&M with an entirely new offense and new coaching staff had played Florida after, say, LSU instead of the first game? Everyone here knows the answer. A&M would have won the division, maybe beaten Georgia, and won the NC. That's not to take away from Florida in any way. They won. I'm happy with that and happy with the year.

First, as I'm sure all of you are painfully aware of, Texas A&M is not the flagship school in the state, and therefore, has a massive little brother syndrome.

I'll confess I don't get all of my A&M brethren claiming "flagship" status. I don't care. And I'm not sure why that is important. Hell yes I still care about UT and want to beat them at all things, including recruiting. Does that mean I'm "little brother"? I don't get that.

However, if you look at Auburn and Texas from 2010-2012, they were extraordinarily high in recruiting, and extraordinarily pathetic on the field.

Neither have Kevin Damn Sumlin as the head coach.

I don't think, especially with a school like Texas and other "Big Name" SEC schools now coming into the state, they will draw the abundance of elite talent necessary to become an annual national championship contender.

Currently #1 on 247sports.com for 2014 recruiting. Yeah, that will likely change. But A&M is right there.

This year will be fun.

There is no limit to what A&M can do in the SEC.

Their recruiting program will continue to surpass the Longhorns while Sumlin is at A&M and Brown is at Texas.

The Aggie's are on track to be the equal of any of the perennial powers in the SEC going forward.

Texas High School Football is now in the SEC!
