after A&M EVERYONE knew that Auburn was a very good team.

I have nothing against Auburn; but I will never understand why Auburn grads/students continue to point to last season's A&M game as some kind quality indicator.
The outcome very easily could (should?) have gone the other way.
A win that was the result of a controversial/bad call--for which the officials subsequently apologized--doesn't make a team "world beaters."
I'll tip my hat where credit is due (e.g., the overall season), but if I were an Auburn grad, I wouldn't continue to point out that game, as if it's proof of anything.

That made the team believe they were good. A&M was thought to be better than they turned out to be when we played.

Y'all were #7 at the time.

That was a pretty big deal during the season.
