I was actually hoping Auburn would have went after


I'm surprised they didn't offer. Had any big program offered him? He's a good coach for sure, reminds me of Bill Snyder a little.

We will see. Expect A&M to throw more downfield this year.

It's well known that Campbell likes coaching up North, or the "rust belt".

No, not really wanting to do that much research into it. Aggys probably have a few strong SOS in the past


Uh huh

Nah, your implicit agreement that our schedule was significantly harder does just fine.

Iowa St. is a long shot but they are better than most give them credit. They are a legit top 10 team. They do fight like hell. They can’t handle the top 4. They lack quality depth and they just don’t get near as many big time recruits like Bama, Georgia, LSU, or Ohio St. Could possibly keep the games close for a half.

Per FPI, Texas has had a harder schedule almost every year in the last 10 years. You will argue that it is wrong, so i’m not going to bother listing it all out.

Here is the link for FPI

I did however find this interesting..

Do you have a different source? Do elaborate.

Make sure to go back to when we first joined the SEC, you know, for an honest comparison.

So yeah, a different source. Mine isn't "inaccurate", it's simply a different source than you.

Also notice you didn't go back any further than a year.

I already posted this link above and said I wasn’t going to list them all because it is all Texas and you will just argue it.

2020 A&M higher
2012 - 2019 Texas higher

Link: ESPN FPI SOS

Just change the year and it is there..

Yes, but when you play one good team a season the odds are better. Same goes for UNC - only really have to beat Clemson


Until you realize over the last 3 years ISU played more ranked teams (final poll) pre bowl games than A&M.

I’d assume a final ranked team is “good”.

So just to be crystal clear, your claim is Texas has had a harder schedule on average than A&M since we joined the SEC, correct?
