From aggy Mike on Texags:

If you look at the top 6 teams of the sec (all who have 1 or 2 conference losses and are in contention for the SEC conference title game - note there will be at least one two loss team), A&M has not played a single premier team (we remain the only team not to have played a top SEC team). Honestly, outside of losses to two currently ranked teams (south Carolina, Notre Dame), we may not have a played (no wins) a currently ranked team when the polls update (LSU & Missouri May both become unranked).

TU has a weak schedule but they have played UGA (1 loss). So it looks like the SEC conference ranking is really based on who you play. TU has the 2nd easiest conference schedule after A&M.

This will definitely hurt A&Ms conference championahip aspirations (if we get another regular season loss) and playoff chances.

The only team that we played in the SEC with a winning conference record was South Carolina and that was a blowout.

We need to think of our resume and how marketable we are to the playoffs committee, recruits, etc. The TU game is what we need more than anything as it would provide justification to our ranking (or alternatively support naysayers pointed to our weak schedule as the only reason why we have a good record).

Wow.  It's like coming home to find my dog reading a book.

Impossible to do except right at the source; i.e., an equivalent speaker array polling their noise and negating it with the out of phase equivalent.

Something funny about A&M playing a night game at Auburn desperately needing some wins to hope for bowl eligibility . 

It's a shitty team this year , even lost to Mizzou and Arkansas.

Where will Texas A&M football turn after losing Husan Longstreet to Lincoln Riley and USC?
The first big recruiting loss for Texas A&M football under Mike Elko has arrived under unexpected circumstances. The 8-2 Aggies are having a great season, showcasing an improved offense and still controlling their own destiny for the SEC championship—and, therefore, the playoff as well.

And yet, now is the time that five-star QB Husan Longstreet out of Corona, CA, chose to flip to the USC Trojans, who currently sit at 5-5 in a very disappointing year. Longstreet had been committed to the Aggies since April, when A&M turned up the heat for the then-four-star.

As I say, the timing here may be the biggest head-scratcher. USC is currently lacking in fan support, flagging in several on-field areas, and Lincoln Riley might just be on the hot seat. In contrast, the Aggies have an arrow firmly pointed up.

The most likely contributor is probably the shifted depth chart for the Aggies. Previously, it seemed that Conner Weigman was the no-doubt starter for the Ags until he headed to the NFL, at which point it would be an open competition. Now, it looks like the younger Marcel Reed has entrenched himself as A&M's starter.

ADVERTISING

So where do the Aggies look to replace Longstreet? A five-star substitute would be Keelon Russell out of Duncanville, currently committed to Alabama. That is pretty unlikely, though, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Ags put on the full court press if possible.

If not him, then I expect them to take a look at some guys around the state committed to smaller programs like Baylor or TCU. They have a bit of a longer timeline now with Marcel Reed as the guy—and I did like what we saw out of Miles O'Neill last night—but you'd still like to take a guy who's not a total project. There are several of those players out there who are gettable for the Aggies, but they'll have to move fast.

“Smaller programs,” like Baylor and TCU. Both of which have significantly more success this century than TAMU. If they would just accept that they’re Mississippi State, they’d be much happier. But they insist they’re Bama. That’s (one reason) why they’re so unhappy.

As always is the case. Just don’t know who there are.

Jesus, all that discussion as to why Longstreet decommitted and not one mention of how USC had a big decommit.

It's great how they just forget the part about gross negligence being the root cause of the collapse.  But glad they can get the ol' 40' topped off with a "portable glory hole"  and paint it burnt orange.

I won't even try to dig into Sagarin's algorithm, but he does have ND at #6 whereas Michigan is #36.  Our other noncon opponents are CSU #83, UTSA #82, and ULM #127.  A&M's are McNeese State #177, Bowling Green #91, and New Mexico State #174.

So, their noncon crap is worse than our noncon crap, and by a bigger margin than the best noncon opponents each team played.

They already did that against LSU.

Doing it again seems like overkill, but it’s A&M. I told a friend a few weeks ago, there are several things in our (Texas) favor going into this game, and one of them is just the amount of pressure A&M is putting on themselves to win this game and win it big.

agree overkill, but is it 25th anniversary of the ultimate in aggy tradition stupidity so there is that.

and in their mind with the new playoff the coaster is back to a height it would not have been at normally at this time.  discounting the covid year anomaly it has been over a decade.

If it's the 6:30 kick, we should just drive over in the morning.  I'm sure that's a non-starter, but I'm still pissed at the fiasco those jackasses created.  Major got food poisoning, the hotel mysteriously failed to provide breakfast, a whole bunch of our players were harassed by phone during the night.

And yet our band still went out and set a bar for class those dipshits could never match.

After that game, the team started staying further out of town, in places like Brenham, to try and avoid their bullshit.

I mean the Mississippi State team stayed out in Round Rock which with I-35 traffic is probably about the same length of time to drive in despite being lower mileage.

I for one welcome the team staying in Brenham ;-)

Personally, I'd like them to breeze past Auburn this coming weekend.  Increase their overconfidence.  Raise that roller coaster to new heights.   I refuse to be overly confident about this game like I was with UGA, but I have seen aggy choke so many times when they get into games like this, and it always seems they went into each of those games feeling they had "this one, this year" locked down.  Only to be dashed on the rocks again.
