Texas talent is diluted.

AL only has to support 2 P5 schools

LA only has to support 1 P5 school

TX supports 5 P5 schools (Note: There are at least 12 DI college football program in TX in addition to the 6 additional Big 12 teams). Bama, LSU, and Ole Miss also have a great deal of TX talent.

This is all true, but something similar happens to the State of Florida. Several major programs and also others pluck in talent from there... still we've seen runs where all 3 major programs are great at the same time; or at least, save for a few seasons (specially from the mid 80's til not long ago) at least one program either won it all, played for it all, or was right there in the mix till the end. Several season even 2 programs fit that description. Hell we had a de facto NC game between to Florida Schools in 96 or so.

We've NEVER seen anything like that out of Texas. Never not even close... yet people keep acting as if they are the same level. Simply the good aren’t there. The sooner A&M fans accept this the easier it will be for them to accept their true place in the pecking order. I happen to think Sumlin is a decent coach and has made a lot of good moves to improve his program. 8-4 is a good season for A&M. Don’t act entitled, there is no reason for that. None.

Well threads like these don't help... it's cruel by the OP really.
