and now Texas will not be counted as a good win either. Aggie can’t catch a break.
but Texas will win anyway which will cause all this hoopla to backfire

We will know once they play Bama or UGA in the sec championship. If it’s a close game, it’ll prove they’re at least close…

Well let me say this.
I was at A&M to see the 1992 team that was 11-1. I think they beat everyone they played but lost their bowl game.
This team is far better than that team.
To be honest if they can score 41 against ND, I think if you’ve actually seen ND play recently, you have to agree it’s impressive.
We will know when they play Texas. If it’s a close game, I would say it’s not that big of a deal.
But if they beat Texas like they beat LSU they may be the best team in the country.

Well written post with a logical question. To be fair, I think most would agree that A&M has to be pretty darn good to go 10-0 even with an admittedly weak SEC schedule. But, we don’t know whether they are a national championship caliber team. The same could be said about most teams, including Indiana and a host of others. Remember that Ohio State only beat Texas 14-7 to start the season. Of course, that’s the beauty of the playoff system, which will allow a champion to be determined on the field.

The schedule thing is pretty old but whatever. If you think it's weak to go 10-0 playing where we had to play and especially having a 3 game road trip in the SEC that's fine. Last I checked LSU didn't even lose to anyone else at home other than our game and we know how that turned out. Missouri had their playoff life on the line and we beat them by 3 TD's in their house. ND has destroyed everyone since we played them and won in South Bend. We got UF the week after they crushed Texas.
This team has a habit of playing with its food and then going on a huge run and putting teams away emphatically. Did it to UF, State, LSU, Mizzou, and of course USC. The biggest flaw is we still haven't truly had a complete game, we always seem to have a bad quarter or half but once we get going it's quite something to see.
One thing that is unusual about this team is we really haven't had much luck, most things have actually gone against us. I think we are up to 5 TD's called back on penalties and they were mostly questionable holds or a lineman who was just a hair too far downfield. Lots of bad turnovers that should have cost us games. Two blocked punts. We have just done a lot of things that should lose you games and had very few lucky bounces.
This team just has a ton of character and no panic. Reed actually seems to enjoy high pressure situations and road environments. The team has no position groups that are really a weakness either. QB, RB, WR, TE, OL, DL, LB, DB are really all solid. They can do everything offensively from running it down your throat and milking the clock to going bombs away and lots of in between. The TE's are the aspect most people overlook but they use them very effectively. It's just a true team. One of my favorite things to watch for instance is our WR's block like crazy, it's not unusual to see one get multiple blocks on a play which anyone who knows football knows that's extremely rare.
Will they win a Natty or lose to Texas? No clue, I wouldn't want to bet against them though. Personally I think we match up really well against Texas and Bama and less well against UGA and Ole Miss but it looks like we may get the right draw. Then who the hell knows in the Playoffs. I will say this team is tested and determined, they won't go out easily.

I saw the ceiling and the floor in the same game on Saturday and have to agree with you. Floor was much lower than I thought.

Good comparison

Not weak at all. Texas and Indiana were trolled for having a weak schedule last year. Conference expansion has fricked up lots of stuff, but a 9-game slate will help next year.
Good analysis with everything else. I ask sincerely, because outside of LSU and some late night west coast action, I don’t have time to watch much of anybody else. Not trying to troll.
I guess the easiest way to phrase my OP would be to ask where you place the Ags in terms of betting futures. I don’t have the money to gamble frivolously, just strictly from an analytical standpoint. Some people gave some solid responses.

If you know anything at all about football you should know that there was absolutely no reason to do anything other than watch Arch emplode. Day has seen enough sidelines with quarterbacks to realize that Arch was not executing in a way that would do anything other than piss down his leg. There was no reason for him to open the whole playbook against Texas after he saw them play.
So he didn’t. They didn’t barely beat Texas. He strategically kept players from injury and kept his playbook relatively closed.
You win using the easiest method possible. There’s no reason to win by a million to impress anyone if you’re OSU.
The score was not what it seemed. They could have done much more if they had to.

As you can tell, I’m not an Aggie fan, but I think they have the best team on n the conference.

I haven’t looked at their schedule, but wouldn’t LSU be either undefeated or have only 1 loss with your schedule? Most of their losses are all to teams you avoided.

The problem is that the only way to have a strong strength of schedule is to lose to a lot of teams - hence making them have a stronger resume
I mean, if we (A&M) were beaten by everyone, then the record of teams that we played against would be better by 14 games (7 wins up, 7 losses removed)
Bottom line is that we sent two top 20 teams to unranked status by beating them soundly at their place - and we are about to make a 3rd top 20 team unranked by doing the same thing on Black Friday.

The problem with your argument is that 3 other SEC teams have beaten all SEC teams they played except 1, and all of them have played at least 1 decent team. Even if you switched that 1 loss to a win for those teams, all 3 would still have played at least 2 teams that are better than any team you’ve played. Your argument holds no water despite A&M fans continuing to say it. It shows their level of insecurity or incompetence, one of the two.

None of the teams on our schedule have had any talent.

A&M is the most complete team in the conference right now with a coach that knows how to push the right buttons...and also shut down any overtures from other programs while he's at it.
Posted on 11/17/25 at 8:17 pm to TXTiger81
Yes, If only we had lost some of our conference games and given our opponents a better record.
Sorry we're not LSU, Bama, TX or any of the other teams with multiple losses.
