Since A&M joined the SEC, they have been ranked in the top ten 7 out of 10 seasons. Not counting 2020's weird season, they have won 34 SEC games. Mississippi State has won 32, and the head to head series is 5-5, and State has won 4 of the last 6.

Polls suck.
Aggys sucks.

Texas A&M is Miami/ND lite. For some reason the media just wants them to be so good and when there’s even a glimmer of decency they are highly ranked and talked about

Fools gold based on having a very experienced team last year.

I predicted 4-5 losses for A&M.

Idk wtf was making all of these “analysts” claim this year was aTm’s year to take the west.

I never saw the hype.

I think Jimbo is a bit of a media darling and they like aTm because they have money…

Advertising is the same for most businesses entities.

This is since A&M joined the SEC. State was 2-1 before A&M was a member.

Because of Texas not being good. As soon as Texas regains consistency, they will forget about the Aggies.

Media markets prob play a role in the hype. Houston/DFW/San Antonio - for now, only SEC team in Tejas,

Can't argue that A&M sucks right now but the media loves us? Seriously? When we were ranked it was like we were a forgotten team in terms of coverage. It's like we didn't exist on Gameday. Then of course we got sooooo much love last year propelling us into the Playoff over a ND team that got blown out and an Ohio State team that won 6 games.

We suck and I can own that but A&M certainly isn't "loved" by the media and never will be, A&M has a tiny journalism department and no A&M grads are analysts on any show to my knowledge. So much low hanging fruit to beat up on Aggy right now and this is the crap you are talking about?

They are from Texas and it is a huge state. It is a bout making money and you do so by hyping up teams in large states. You don't see it as much in smaller states.

ESPN needs a gay team to promote for its own social agenda.

That's the only reason I can think of.
