re: Most likely non big 6 team to win a conference title?

It took Carolina 20 years, a team aggy fans are saying their program is comparable too in this thread...

It took Arkansas 3 years.

is this where arky fans go into denial about aTm's newly increased recruiting footprint, and how aTm's move to the SEC won't affect arky's recruiting?

lulz


it's a new era, boys

I see some similarity between the 2011 Arkansas season and the 2013 ATM season.

Don't get me wrong, you'd beat most teams in the nation. But you'll be third in the west,

please, we are elite now. we will beat the gumps and the corndogs. you can't compete with top shelf texas talent.

Last year's USC team was the first one that wasn't overrated since Holtz arrived in Columbia. Still, USC is getting there and I could see them winning the SEC one day soon.

A&M may look the best on paper, but the game isn't played on paper. It's interesting listening to SEC fans tout A&M's tool chest, when it's never helped them much in the past. A&M couldn't win big in the Big-XII, but now they're going to in the SEC? Maybe, but it would be a change from the past.

My choice is Arkansas, of course, because it's the most committed. Most of the comments I read seem to dwell on the idea of a team winning the SEC once, but does that make them worthy of big 6 membership? Even if they don't win another for 50 years?

And it'll be the big 7, just as Florida made the big 6. I don't see why anyone has to fall out for another team to be added.

The statistics do not support this. Neither do the records, final rankings and total draft prospects.

Well, frick. I didn't use statistics to back up my claims, I explained the difference in final rankings and records, I even explained my reasoning.

For all the talk of Manziel being all we have, 2006 Arkansas was as much a one man show as any in recent memory.

No.

That team played three programs that finished ranked all season and lost to all three.

K. I'm sure you are too young to remember that team and where they were before the Sturnover happened.

And like I said, you can pick out at least at least four or five individual plays that, if even one goes our way, we make the SEC title game in our first season.

This season we have a (seemingly) easier schedule, more overall (albeit young) talent due to our recent bump in recruiting and an offense that history shows improves significantly from year one to year two when the QB is constant. Not saying we'll win the west this year, but as close as we came last year you'll have to forgive us for not seeing it as this impossible hill to climb.

You mean how A&M's move to the SEC helps Arkansas recruiting in Texas?

Shh. They think Texas was vital for Arkansas in the past, he is too young to know how Arkansas was cut-off by many Texas HS coaches when we left the SWC killing that conference.

quote:

Much easier to keep Texas recruits from going to LSU or Bama than it is Texas. Now that that program is under our recruiting thumb so to speak, I'll take our chances with SEC teams.

Just how hard was it for aggy to keep Texas kids from going to OU?...

Since 2010, not very. We've dominated them for Texas kids over the past three cycles. We were something like 12-2 against them head to head in 2013.

I was 12, I remember it well enough. Even if I didn't though, it's not hard to look up your 1998 schedule.

Results do not tell the tale of how the games played out or how good the team was during the games compared to other teams that year.
