There are a few of us. :-)
A&M got out in front of NIL this last year and maximized it. Other schools in fact have caught up and in all likelihood surpassed what A&M did last year already in this cycle, eg "The Gator Collective" and Georgia's "LeGAcy" program but pretty much all the major SEC programs have developed this in the last 4-6 months to maximize their NIL potential.
It is the new landscape and it isn't going back anytime soon. Anyone who feels otherwise has their heads in the sand. Any school with a large alumni base is going to be able to play.

Yep
All they need is a coach.

I’d cling onto that year too if I were you I guess.

And their fans cry about TAMU in hopes they get taken down by the NCAA while their team skirts by. It's some of the most pathetic shite I've seen on this site, and that's saying a lot. Imagine being that weak.

It's pretty dumb.
Everyone is cheating, not sure why some here pretend their school isn't.
Everyone has been cheating for a long time, I think Iowa got kicked out of their conference in like the late 1920's for paying players.

they are owning NIL
Their boosters got away with using NIL as a cover to buy players last year. That isn't "owning NIL". We'll see how it goes. I think they are as likely to get busted for pay for play as they are to own NIL. Anyway, another team in their own state have way more money to buy players.

NCAA to review NIL policies, including impact on student-athletes and potential recruiting violations
n a news release, the board cited concerns about potential violation of NCAA recruiting rules, the representation for athletes as they broker these deals, booster involvement, as well schools being involved in potentially arranging deals for incoming players.
According to the board, the NCAA's national office enforcement staff have continued to investigate violations of NCAA rules, including pay-for-play and recruiting inducements.

Read the SI article. The NCAA can literally do nothing about NIL right now. Right or wrong, it is the Wild West. And A&M is playing the game really, really well. Three schools were mentioned by name. Alabama, Georgia, and A&M. Miami through their rich booster, Ruiz. Even schools like ND are getting involved
It's the new college football. Pay for play under the guise of NIL. And most of these collectives have legal teams as well, so deny, deny, deny ...

No way does the committee put 3 SEC teams in the playoffs, but imagine having a 1 loss A&M (Bama), a 1 loss Georgia (SECCG), and an undefeated Bama. How do you keep any of those teams out?
I think A&M would be on the outside looking in.
Just a guess and using your scenario, I would think the loser of the SECCG would be left out. That said, it would depend on how badly Alabama beat A&M and how badly they beat Georgia.

I'm not sure they are looking in. I don't think their two toughest games are Auburn and Alabama (Bama yes). Arkansas, Ole Miss, and LSU (maybe) should be major tests for them.
If things do not go their way this could be an 8-4, 7-5 type season. And before people just lose their mind at me trolling A&M like this... last year they were a dark horse Natty contender. It did not turn out well.

A&M has some questions to answer this year, as does every school. This year, the talent gaps will be filled with significantly more talent than in previous years.
DL will be ridiculous by the end of the year
Secondary will be ridiculous at the start of the year
Weakness in defense is at LB
Questions at QB and WR, but once again significantly more talent. OL and RB will be a strength
We will be good next year, but significantly more experienced and talented the year after that. It's a process. Win nine or more this year, and playing for the SEC is in reach in 2023
It absolutely all depends on the QB

Enough for another 8 win season probably.

Its possible. I am going to wait for the season to see how it works out. You could be in far worse shape after all.
Posted on 5/3/22 at 11:03 am to Arksulli
We could. We will be very, very young next year as the 5* players are filtered in to replace departing veterans. I think the projection was 12 or more underclassmen in the two-deep

Taken down? Where? What’s below the SEC WEST basement?

This.
If Texas A&M lost by a field goal to Alabama and Georgia lost by three touchdowns then the Aggies would step to the front of the line. If the opposite were true then UGA would make it into the playoffs and Texas A&M would be left out.

only an aggie could argue greatness after only winning two games in their division. since when does a cellar dweller brag so much?

You know a lot about cellar dweller status, don't you sip? The amount of talent wasted in Austin should be a red flag to any incoming recruit

"They were close," Wilson told Rivals of his interest in Texas. "I'm not going to lie, the official visit made me think about them a little more. In the end, I've watched a lot of people go to Texas with a ton of ability and maybe not achieve what I thought they could. I didn't want to be one of those guys."

Will the NCAA have the power or even authority by the time any pay-for-play makes it to court? Not saying it shouldn't happen, just seems the NCAA may be a toothless tiger.
As to OP, even Jimbo will find it difficult to lose with that much talent. Assuming the Portal doesn't blow up (big assumption) with players leaving, A&M will likely have a playoff team in the next couple of years. Doubtful this year, but wouldn't be surprised if next year.
