No, almost no one outside of A&M would prefer to be in A&M's shoes, football wise.
Almost no one would rather root for a team that went to a bowl last year vs a team that didn't? That doesn't make sense either.
And that isn't even counting our much better facilities at the moment, or our larger stadium, or the fact that we play in a better conference. The only real advantage for Texas right now is a much better brand, which doesn't mean the same thing on paper as the rest of it.
Hell, half the boasting about "how well Texas is doing" I hear from the locals hinge on Charlie getting fired after this year and them replacing him with some sort of badass like Herman. When a good chunk of your fanbase expects the coach to be fired at the end of the year you aren't doing great.

It makes perfect sense, given the recruiting and coaching issues A&M has, and the fact that Texas' recruiting is back to acceptable levels. Maybe Sumlin will end this cycle strong -- he hasn't been a good closer recently.
A&M has a two game losing streak (v. 20th and unranked) going and Texas a one game winning streak (v 13th ranked), if you really want to focus on recent developments.
