Tons of schedule trash talk from the Aggies...let's take a look at the SOS rankings. Brutal stuff

6-2 Auburn (losses to UGA & A&M)
6-2 Alabama (losses to A&M and AU)
6-2 Texas A&M (losses to Arky, MSU)

What happens when this happens?

Every one of those teams accomplished just as much, and in a lot of cases more, than the aggies did in 16 years in the Big 12 But hiding behind schedules and other teams is what they do (even if statistics prove them wrong on that like your visual)

A&M goes because of head to head over the other two

This.

The top 3+ team tie breaker is combined H2H record of the tied teams. A&M would win at 2-0 vs. the other tied teams. Bama and Auburn would both be 1-1.

It's a wierd quirk but our losses being against bad teams would actually help us in this scenario since we wouldn't have any losses against the other teams in the tie.

I'm not talking about your trash schedule, just your trash football team

Lol I wasn't responding to you? That was the "murderers row" graphic.

But please, keep the precious charade of pretending A&M has accomplished in of note in bowl games. Your athletic program's greatest victory was beating a short-handed UNC team that wasn't even in the top 10

Edit: aren't you the same poster that claimed they receive Christmas cards from the Browns every December and receives treats from Mack and Sally as stocking stuffers?

You could also add Ole Miss and make it a 4-way tie, and A&M would still come out on top if we run the table from here out.

All we need is to win out and have Auburn beat Bama and A&M will win the West.

Murderer's row is a real thing. UTA will be lucky to go 2-3 and qualify for a bowl game

We know. Texas a&m running away due to their record against said teams, compiled with their dreadful record against Texas and OU, was well publicized.

Unfortunately I think both of those are unlikely.

It’s the way the cookie crumbles but it just took too long for this team to get going. We needed to be undefeated at this point knowing we could trip up one time against (OM/Auburn/LSU)

We ran away from Baylor, Iowa state and Kansas because we were scared…only to add Alabama/LSU/Auburn? That line doesn’t even make sense

Well sure, of course you'd rather lose to those teams. I'm sure it was unfortunate to watch each of Baylor and KU reach a BCS/NY6 game in this century before the ags ever sniffed one

I'd prefer Bama in the peach!



Much nicer venue payout is about the same if I'm not mistaken.




That's provided we slip-up and lose to jawja!

I’d say first be the best team in their system. They want no part of UTSA this year.

I'm not so sure. Fisher teams get better as the season goes on. This year is no exception, even with all the injury issues early on. And we're getting more and more players back from injury too as the season goes. And Calzada is settling in and making some great throws, even he makes some mistakes too.

A&M is absolutely capable of beating OM and Aub the way we're playing now. And should beat LSU.

Bigger question IMO is Auburn over Bama.
