texag7,
Please do not attempt to compare A&M and Vandy academics ever again. A&M is widely seen as a backup to UT-Austin and does not even enjoy second tier academic status behind Vandy in the SEC (that honor belongs to UF and UGA).
Go ahead and google A&M's average SAT / ACT scores, then lets see your academic braggadocio.

I can understand some people thinking UF is as good or better. But UGA? Nah. Y’all 4th.

Texas A&M is widely regarded as a fine academic institution. It is typically rated slightly ahead of Georgia.

UGA has higher ACT and SAT scores, a significantly better ranking via U.S. News, lower acceptance rates, and a higher average GPA. In other words, UGA is far better than A&M according to virtually every relevant metric. Sorry, what is your counterargument again? The word "nah" does not suffice as a viable rebuttal. Of course, I did not expect much more from an A&M grad, sorry you couldn't make it into Austin.

UGA has higher standardized test and GPA scores, lower acceptance rates, and is rated higher according to U.S. News. I have never heard of the websites that you just cited. I am not sure where you are from, but A&M is widely viewed as a backup to schools like UGA, UF, UT-Austin, UNC, etc. Do not kid yourself, A&M has a 66% acceptance rate, absolutely embarrassing.

US News is a tabloid.
It uses class size and peer institution opinions to rank universities. Something like 30% of their ranking consists of opinions

They’re sites that people in education pay attention to. So that probably explains why you’re unaware.

I like this thread.

The Aggie’s athletic “accomplishments” are an embarrassment to the conference. It is high time we rethink their admission into the brotherhood of the SEC.
