With all due respect, I think this is irrational.

It isn't relevant at all. It's a statistical oddity.
A statistical oddity is twice over 3 years or 3 times over 5 years.
2-3 straight years is a trend, 4 straight years is a correlation.
2012: A&M favored by 15.5 (A&M won 63-21)
2013: A&M favored by 13.5 (Auburn won 45-41)
2014: Auburn favored by 14.5 (A&M won 41-38)
2015: A&M favored by 7 (Auburn won 26-10)
2016: Auburn favored by 4 (A&M won 29-16)
2017: TBD
Based off of that data, the 2012 game was the oddity as it was the only time in which the favorite won.

I'm pretty sure never is longer than 5 years

Visiting team always wins; they're the visiting team.
Underdog always wins; we'll be the underdog.
Irresistible force meets unmovable object!
(Count me in the "both 'trends' are meaningless" camp.)

Never is until it happens.
That's like saying that South Carolina never beats A&M even though the two schools have only played 4 times.
Prior to 2014, Ole Miss could NEVER beat A&M.

How many stat classes did you take in college? Without additional data points, you have no significant correlation. Jusr because things correlate doesn't mean it's statistically significant.

Many of the vocal guys on this board also wanted Hugh Freeze, Bielemna, Butch Jones, Jimbo Fisher and Tom Herman to replace Sumlin....

Maybe Fisher, but none of the others.

I have seen fisher, Herman, and Bielema... haven't seen bielema in awhile though.
I would still gladly take fisher, and think Herman probably would have been a good hire even though I don't love him as a person.

Herman will fail as badly as Charlie
Posted on 10/23/17 at 8:09 pm to Hugh McElroy
Nah, I’ll never get back on board, short of a conference championship, and I don’t think we will ever win anything of substance under him. However, I also can see a case for him not being fired after this season if he basically wins out, maybe one loss.
Ultimately I want him fired yesterday because he’s not the guy. I’ve seen all I need to see.

Don't look at me. I've advocated for Bo Pelini this entire year.

He might, but I think there's a lot more wrong in Austin than one coach can fix.
Posted on 10/23/17 at 9:29 pm to Nguyening
Columbus Crew might move there. Austin will finally have a real sports team.

Bo pelini would be a great coach here.

of the two home losses to Auburn
The '13 Auburn team had a horseshoe shoved up their arse and went to the national title game so I'm not sure why losing a close game to them is some great sin. It doesn't matter one iota what the spread was for that game b/c Vegas and everyone else were wrong about how good they were going into the season.
Kyler Murray isn't here to to quit mid game b/c he didn't like how hard the Auburn players hit him. Why in the world would any rational person use this game to judge what will happen this year when the OC and QB from this game are gone?
Again, what has happened at Kyle Field the last two games has zero to do with what happens this year. I'm sorry but it just doesn't. To say it does is asinine.
Otherwise where are you with a Miss State has never won at Kyle thus we win this weekend prediction? We don't have it b/c it doesn't fit your everything sucks narrative.
