Aggies.
Your conference ranking has nothing to do with how many total games you win and what your final ranking is.
Its simple. Based off of how many conference games you win, who you beat head to head.

I'm buying stock in tarp companies, because there's no way those are full most of the time in a few years.

I agree. More seats don't equal greater game experience or more noise. Arrowhead(76,500) and Centurylink(72,000) Field are fun games to attend, and both get loud. Neither Stadium seats over 80,000. More people means more annoying fans, drunks, traffic, etc.

I disagree. None of those places give 30k tickets to students. Take those out of the equation and you are only talking 70,000 seats for formers students and visitors at new Kyle.
Of course, I've would have opted for more armchairs vs bench and a capacity around 90-95k.

A&M has over 30k student seats, meaning for every game in the new stadium we only need around 70k alumni, t-shirt fans, opposing fans, etc. to fill the stadium. That is less (in most cases significantly so) than LSU, Bama, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Auburn.
Our seating situation is very unique.

Technically tiebreakers only come into play when it determines who goes to the SEC Championship. So 6-2 and 6-2 is a tie for 2nd place. LSU won H2H. A&M won more games & had a higher final ranking. One season was clearly better than the other, but they still tied in conference standings.

True. I can remember some Ole Miss fans saying they have a SEC West Championship Trophy or something even though they didn't play in ATL.

Agreed, A&M had the better finish to the season since LSU lost their bowl game.
But LSU had the better conference finish. LSU beat A&M at Kyle Field. LSU was second in the west. A&M finished third in the west and tied for fifth place overall if you include the other 7 teams in the SEC. A&M loves moral victories but some of their fans have common sense and they know LSU finished ahead of them in the SEC.

So Alabama doesn't claim a conference title with anyone else in a year where the tie for first place includes the team Alabama lost to?

Actually, most Ags realize that LSU technically finished ahead of them in the conference standings, but rightfully point out (as you admitted) that TAMU had the better season. It is LSU fans (and others just wanting to stir shite) that stress the conference standings. The moral victory belongs to LSU, not TAMU.

LSU New Tennis Facility
Starting in January 2015, the LSU tennis program can take to the court come rain or shine.
Thanks to the new tennis facility tentatively scheduled to be completed by next January, LSU tennis will have 12 outdoor and six indoor courts for practice and competition.

LSU does not need moral victories. Texas A&M does.
Shall I pull up the last time each team won national championship or won one of the four big bowls (sugar, rose, orange, fiesta). I would guess over 50 years for A&M. 7 years for LSU. Thus, A&M loves to brag about moral victories.

Again, these are moral victories for LSU. It has no bearing on the fact that A&M had the better season in '12.
This is a thread about all the great expansion projects going on. Quit being a douche and take your thread-jacking shite elsewhere.

I like where LSU and Mizzou have gone with their expansions. More emphasis on club and standing room only seating sections. I'd actually like to see UGA do some something similar in our East endzone.
