i think he nailed it with regards to A&M, but it's not the aggies fault UT backed out. They still should find a major conference opponent, though... but it's only hurting their own fans' experience.

It evened out a little bit, but we play Clemson every year and also play North Carolina this year. Georgia’s got a tough schedule this year, too. Did you see who Texas A&M plays out of conference [Rice, Sam Houston State, SMU and UTEP]? That’s embarrassing. They don’t play Texas anymore because they both got mad at each other. To me, that’s childish. It would have been like Clemson saying they were not going to play us anymore after we joined the SEC. They would have gone crazy around here. We’ve been playing these guys for 100 years, and now all of a sudden, we’re not playing them? The schedule can make or break you.

It's not like we went looking to only schedule creampuffs, but when our designated long-term OOC marquee game suddenly becomes a conference game (Arkansas), there's only so much you can do. Also, the SEC league office asked A&M to hold off on making any big OOC scheduling moves in order to help facilitate the construction of the 2014 conference schedule.
Rumblings are that A&M and VTech are going to have a home-and-home in 2016/17, then A&M plays a two game series against Oregon the following two years.
Point is, we didn't move from the B12 to the SEC and start construction on a $450M stadium renovation/expansion because we wanted to AVOID big games.
