re: If you had ten additional points to distribute across your team's football history...

A&M wasn't winning the 1956 title even with no losses

y'all claim fake titles as it is so could claim that one too, same with 94

if it were 12 points instead of 10 we could get 2011 A&M to 11-1 & maybe y'all get voted into the title game. Would have been fun to see LSU play A&M that year.

If it were 12 points instead of 10, A&M would have competed for the national title my junior year.

1998 - 10 points vs. Florida State (lost 23-14)
1998 - 2 points vs. t.u. (lost 26-24) and beat them in Overtime

12 points in 2011 wouldn't do much. We lost to Oklahoma State by 3 (don't count the last second safety where Justin Blackmon ran backwards into his own endzone), Arkansas by 4, Missouri by 7 in OT, Kansas State by 3 in 4OT and t.u. by 2. That's 12 points just to tie the non overtime games.

There’s no police force stopping you, there probably should be but there isn’t. Wouldn’t even be the worst claim A&M has on that adorable wall of fictional titles

No, but there is the math police stopping you.

If you give 12 points to the 2011 A&M team, that still doesn't make it 11-1.

4 would be needed to beat Oklahoma State
5 would be needed to beat Arkansas
*1 would be needed to beat Missouri in regulation
*1 would be needed to beat Kansas State in regulation
3 would be needed to beat t.u.

That's 14 points.

13 points would be needed to make the 1998 team 13-0 going into the BCS title game.

3 points would make the 1999 team 9-3.

15 points would make the 2000 team 9-3.

15 points and Slocum keeps his job with a 10-2 record in 2002.

10 points gives the 2004 team a 10-2 regular season record and probably gives Auburn the 2004 title.

9 points gives the 2006 team a 12-0 regular season but gets them obliterated by Florida.

11 points gives the 2010 team a 10-2 regular season record and a rematch against Missouri.

14 points gives 2011 A&M an 11-1 regular season record but LSU still plays Alabama for the title.

10 points gives 2012 A&M a 12-0 record with a likely beatdown of both Georgia and Notre Dame for the National Title.

20 points gives 2013 A&M an 11-1 regular season record.

9 points gives 2016 A&M a 10-2 regular season record.

Not even 11 points saves Sumlin's job in 2017 (UCLA and Alabama, but another late-season collapse)

2 points to the 10 Iron Bowl. 5 points to the 16 NCG. Put the other 3 to the first 2011 LSU game and Bama takes a 9-6 regulation win.

This is how I know you didn't watch the game.

You’re right, I didn’t watch the 2011 Oklahoma State-Texas A&M game

Is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha?

+5 vs Clemson in 2016 national championship game

+3 vs Notre Dame in the 1974 Orange Bowl

+2 vs Auburn in the 2010 Iron Bowl

So would LSU potentially win the "rematch" in 2011?

Texas has 4 one loss seasons with the loss decided by a single point.

8 points to play with could net 4 MNC’s

That’s amazing.
