I don't get why they are not better than the product they put the field.
Quality talent including Great QBs in Texas
They have a Great fan base, weird but historical traditions.
They are from Texas influence in Sec.
Recent Heisman winner
A lot of people with money willing to invest in the University.
They should be easily a Top 15 nationally each year.

There isn't a single Texas team in the Top 25 at the time. It's time people realize Texas talent isn't all that it's cracked up to be. That's not to say some really good player aren't born there but not to the extent people pretend.

OP, well... there are all those rumors bout the aggies' Yell Leaders, white coveralls, buzz cuts and all, and that dog. And that former famous DQ is now passe according to the aggies.

We basically started at zero in 2012. Our brand was shite, our roster was shite outside of some once-in-a-lifetime three star players and and a NFL-ready Oline.
We overachieved in 2012, which was nice but not sustainable. Our recruiting ticked up but so did the talent of the teams we play against.
If you look at the talent rankings we are third in the SEC West (very close to fourth) and in reality we are fourth in the SEC West (very close to third). So we have underachieved but just a little.

The problem is in order to be the kind of program OP assumes we can be we will have to overachieve eventually more than a single year (aka 2012) to keep the ball rolling. I would argue it wasn't LSU's first BCS title that made them what they are today, but the second BCS title. In order to get ahead you have to overachieve with consistency, and Nick Saban is a direct roadblock to that.
Our best chance at this point is if the playoffs goes to 8 teams soon. Not because it makes it easier for us to get in (though it would) but because that would stabilize the Big 12 and make sure our SEC selling point is unique in our region for at least a few decades.

They are Aggies. It is their destiny to be a barely average program and it always will be.

OP, We still put more people in the stands than you do. Not exactly a quagmire.

One problem - we think we're going to win it all, then we lose to Alabama, then we quit. I blame the leadership for quitting.

The Spread offense has turned 99% of the players coming out of Texas into soft pussy's, the other 1% gets divided among about 6 or 8 different schools. Games are still won by big fat mean o and d lineman and hard hitting bad arse linebackers, something Texas doesn't produce many of, If A&M never signs another LB out of Tx they'll be way ahead of where they've been recently.

I have a theory that Sumlin wears the team out as the season progresses. He's old school.

You do realize that all of those "highlights" that you point to are recent advances in the program since joining the SEC in 2012.
Most of this being accomplished in a brand new conference, with a brand new coach, brand new facilities, and a new AD.
All you guys act like A&M showed up to the conference with a Heisman winning QB and new stadium. Most of these posters thought A&M wouldn't go the way of UK and Vandy.
A bunch of revisionist history on these boards. Some people are just plain dumb.

Up to page 5 for a school that everyone says they do not care about.
Think it'll make 10 pages?
Why the interest?

Hey we're a top fifteen team annually if you only look at the beginning of October.
