That's the hope. Unfortunately there are probably at least a couple of Ls still coming this year.

I've seen this posted a dozen times, and always by a 'sip.

It was a one-score game until garbage time. Yes, we lost, but it was hardly a "trouncing."

The problem is we always find a way to lose to those teams.

Win Saturday and we'll be 15-20.

Tale as old as time. Tamu loses early playing bad and continues to get penalized in a way other programs wouldn’t (see cfp standings 2020). A&M needs to keep winning

Is there *ever* “garbage time” in a *one-score* game?

Not to mention we “gave” them 7 points on a kickoff return since special team blunders count as “giving” points away here

Call it what you like, but Miami didn't go up by two scores until a long pass play with two minutes left in the game.

I don't call that a "trouncing," but feel free to call it what you like.

Because your team sucks and you don't deserve it. You were given this privilege for years only to prove voters you dont deserve it. And Dumbo is still your coach

If you win this week you'll be ranked. Why does it matter if you are in the middle of October you guys go 6-1 from here on out you'll be in the playoffs. Who cares about being ranked 20th just win games

The person floating that retort is an arguable alter.
You can keep repeating it … but few Ags here have made the claim you advance.

You are one delusional 'sip.

In this thread, all I said was that we were not "trounced" by Miami. Demonstrably true.

In the other thread, I specifically said that we have not year earned a ranking. Also demonstrably true.

Remove those shite-orange blinders and read the words, my friend.

A&M hasn't earned a ranking. Neither have half of the T25 but that is a different argument.

Some A&M fans have a massive inferiority complex.

Also, A&M fans are basically the only ones who think A&M should've made the CFP in 2020.

I don't really care that we're unranked. We always seem to play better when we aren't. We could win out and I'm pretty sure we still wouldn't make the CFP given the other teams in contention.

An A&M win this weekend would be great for A&M and would marginalizes Texas' win over Bama earlier this season, also hurting their SOS. Couldn't be a more perfect situation.

Now we just gotta do it.
