Over the 15-year timespan that the Big 12 had two divisions, A&M finished worse than third only 5 times.

The narrative was that A&M would have guaranteed wins in the Big 12.

The last 10 years A&M was in the Big 12, their conference record was 37-44. Using the conference tie-breaker the last 9 years the Big 12 had 2 divisions, on average, A&M finished between 4th & 5th in a six team division. The wins in the Big12 for A&M were not guaranteed.
