I am going with Arkansas, because when I think of A&M football under Sumlin I think "soft", like Oregon or Baylor. Oregon/Baylor always look unstoppable with those gimmick offenses, but when they play a team that can match up physically(like Stanford in the case of Oregon) they look bad because their speed is no match for the other team's physicality. Plus those styles always hurt the defense because the offense isn't on the field enough so the defense tires out. That is why I don't see A&M being able to knock off the LSU/Alabama teams they would need to beat to win a SEC West title.

Meanwhile with Arkansas I can see Bielema turning them into a team that is tough and physical and will get to a point where they can grind out wins with a ball control offense and solid defense. Eventually I see Arkansas having a season where they outgrind their opposition and in a SEC West title with ball control and defense.

Arkansas is in a better shape to win a SEC West title than A&M because they are going the physical and tough route, instead of the speed yet soft route.

Your state, coach, players, and school are shitty.

Technically, Arkansas already won the west 3 times before A&M joined the conference.

I know it's hard because TCU has no wins of significance since joining the Big 12, but remind me again, who was the 2012 National Champions' only loss?

Aggy couldn't win the weak big12 south, they will never win the SEC-West.

I think the OP means from this point forward.

And I don't have an opinion, and I don't troll, so here's a picture of a bar patio I like because its about patio weather.

Easy answer, Aggies


Better coach by far BB is bottom 3
Better Talent/Players
Better Recruiting

A&M has a better coach, pulled in better recruits and live in a more fertile area for talent. 2015 or 2016 could be the year for them to go to Atlanta. Meanwhile, we haven't seen a thing from Arkansas to suggest they're poised for a return to Atlanta anytime soon.

Slight chance


I don't think either will be able to win the division with Les and Nick in the mix, who I think will be around longer than Sumlin or Bert.

In the grand scheme I'd call it a toss up.
