I am going with Arkansas, because when I think of A&M football under Sumlin I think "soft", like Oregon or Baylor. Oregon/Baylor always look unstoppable with those gimmick offenses, but when they play a team that can match up physically(like Stanford in the case of Oregon) they look bad because their speed is no match for the other team's physicality. Plus those styles always hurt the defense because the offense isn't on the field enough so the defense tires out. That is why I don't see A&M being able to knock off the LSU/Alabama teams they would need to beat to win a SEC West title.

Meanwhile with Arkansas I can see Bielema turning them into a team that is tough and physical and will get to a point where they can grind out wins with a ball control offense and solid defense. Eventually I see Arkansas having a season where they outgrind their opposition and in a SEC West title with ball control and defense.

Arkansas is in a better shape to win a SEC West title than A&M because they are going the physical and tough route, instead of the speed yet soft route.

Your state, coach, players, and school are shitty.

Technically, Arkansas already won the west 3 times before A&M joined the conference.

I know it's hard because TCU has no wins of significance since joining the Big 12, but remind me again, who was the 2012 National Champions' only loss?

A&M won the south outright in 1997 and 1998 and was in a 3-way tie for the Division in 2010 (Oklahoma won the tiebreaker due to BCS ranking).

I think the OP means from this point forward.

And I don't have an opinion, and I don't troll, so here's a picture of a bar patio I like because its about patio weather.

I wouldn't say a lot. I only drink out once per week on avg. But I was there last weekend. I like to feed the jukebox with my phone. Its a chill bar. Never had a problem there, and I've gone there for a decade.
