I think people are doubting A&M still for a few reasons:
1) Weak schedule
2) Games were close against weak opponents until the last couple
3) There are no house hold names on their team. Ohio State has Caleb Downs and Jeremiah Smith…A&M doesn’t have anyone I know of as day one draft picks.
4) When I think of their team, I don’t think of them being awesome at one thing. Which makes them feel beatable.

I can see where you are coming from. There is not much to gain and a lot to lose.
This would be a real test for A&M after playing teams with losing records for the last couple months. A loss here could start a tailspin, plus couple that with a loss in the CCG.
The other aspect is the risk of losing a perfect record by playing a good team. Which would suck for legacy purposes if this team did actually win it all.

I told my nephew to go to Florida because they would have a great football program and game day experience. Now I feel terrible.
re: If Texas beats Vandy, would there be any reason for Notre Dame to be ranked ahead of them?

No, If we win, I think we go up 3 spots and Vandy will stay ahead of us.
re: This Aggie team seems to be average

I’ve analyzed that game. It doesn’t seem like anyone is disputing my point however so I think everyone kind of agrees with this?
Probably. The horns are worse than average.

Their signature win is the one point win against Notre Dame which should have been a loss.
Everything else is wins against teams with losing records and a D2 school.
Scoring offense and scoring defense rankings are 40 or below. So just pretty average.
This is the case where the Aggies are beating the teams they should (losing records)…but not #3 in the team in the country territory.

Elko is a killer for sure. Would definitely like to have him on our staff next year. I could see Sark brining him on as an assistant defensive coordinator.

Not sure why they let Ed O go for this clown. He had the best season in college football history.
This has been my biggest complaint with NIL. I am all for paying players who perform. Which was the original intent of the. The guys whose jerseys are selling, or are in video games.
The fact a HS kid can make as much as a proven starter in college is just insane.

A&M / Arkansas line (-7.5)
Posted by theyatoak on 10/16/25 at 7:35 pm
Given that A&M is ranked #4 and Arkansas is 2-4 with a coach that has been fired…doesn’t this line seem a little low?
He’s trying to use this as a form of negotiation leverage.
Tom Herman at Texas. He did start the process of turning the program around. First 10 win season in a decade. He won some big games. 4-0 in bowl games. Won the sugar bowl. His losses were usually close games. I think he deserves more credit than he gets.

re: I asked ChatGPT to rank the non consensus claims of national titles in football by SEC....

A&M’s two titles they added to their stadium 90 years later are not on the list. I used your prompt and below is what ChatGPT said.
1919: Highly debatable. Dominant team but no contemporary acknowledgment. Falls among the more tenuous non-consensus claims.
1927: Mid-range defensibility. Multiple teams have arguments for that season, but A&M’s claim isn’t outrageous.

You’re already going on the road into a hostile environment.
Why would you make your odds worse? Makes no sense.

Thanks for adding to the conversation. Considering 90% of your posts are either anti-Texas or baseball related; I’m assuming your bias is Pate levels against the horns right now.
So you agree with me. Got it.
I don’t know that backstory. When I think of Burton, I think of his YouTube channel On Texas Football.
When you mentioned him, I thought you were talking about his commentary on On Texas Football. So it was sort of an obvious response. Sounds like there is more to it I don’t know.

The most unbiased reporter in the SEC for sure.
