I think A&m has more money than "most" SEC teams, in literally every potential metric you could list.
Your thinking is wrong. A&M is a program with resources I'm not saying you are Southern Miss. Yet Bama, LSU, UGA, UF, and Tennessee have bigger pockets. Arkansas is just slightly below A&M. In the SEC you DO NOT have an advantage in money. Neither and much less in winning tradition nor anything else relevant.. You just don't. This idea you are the loaded kids in the block is false.

The only thing that matters is recent history. Otherwise, Princeton and Army should both be world beaters and LSU and Florida are shitty.
History only carries so far. What is happening right now in terms of facilities, staff, recruiting buzz, fund raising. Now. Not 10 or even 5 years ago.
It still doesn't put A&M above and beyond the other SEC programs, but the distinction is very small if any.

Most means the majority. We have more money than the majority of the SEC in the ranking you provided. Also program revenue isn't as meaningful as you think.
