If Bama and A&M play I’d be curious to see how A&M does against Bama’s passing game. Simpson/Bernard/Horton/Cuevas/Williams. Lots of firepower.

I am at a loss why Bama doesn’t have a better run game.

aTm has played one ranked opponent. Horrible. And a poor value for the fans as well.


A&M has more road wins over ranked opponents (3) than any team in the country. (Nobody else has more than 2 road wins over ranked teams.)

Guessing they're counting the ranking at the time of the game?

being a top 10 team leaves you open to this because every team you play is going to have 1 more loss than they otherwise would have. If you are well into the conference season and the team was ranked b4 you beat them that is a ranked win

Scheme, personnel, and execution all are lacking in our run game.

lol. Maybe if the Aggies played somebody in the top half of the conference then they’d look like Alabama does.

Or maybe if Alabama got to play against Mizzou QB3 or Brian Kelly, they’d look like aggy.

Because they get paid to hype shite up so people like you will link their shite.

In reality, you have 1 ranked win, ND. Don't be sad, Alabama lost a ranked win too. Maybe they could get ranked again, but unlikely on the 3rd string QB.

Alabama is not making it to Atlanta. Grubb's offense has been exposed and Bama's got to play probably the best defense in the SEC and then has to face a good Auburn D in Jordan-Hare where they always play like shite. A&M fans need to just calm down.

Kentucky beat Auburn by 7. A&M beat Auburn by 6.

Obviously, Kentucky is better than A&M.

I'm not saying it's right but that is exactly how rankings have worked for a very long time

Using game of time rankings just means you are giving credit to teams that were over-rated at some point in the season.

Are we supposed to pretend LSU beat #4 Clemson to start the year and that Clemson only lost to #9 LSU?

I am pretty sure it is universally accepted that the best way to determine which team is better is to look at common opponents and score differential. Be careful…. Sugar highs come with massive crashes and as you poke the bear remember you may play them. I know… I know…. This is new territory for you all and eating at the adult table for the first time brings out areas of growth. Just know we will help you while you still have a seat.
