Ground breaking analysis. 

yes, typically a team turning the ball over 4 times leads to a loss. Jfc it’s like yall have to hedge your bets in your mind emotionally just to survive the slight possibility it might happen.

This is starting to remind me of the lead up to the 2010 Nebraska game. Corn spent a whole year plotting revenge and talking shit only to get beat by Garrett Gilbert.

That's what I'm saying. I see a lot of people talking about whether the team is prepared, but my reference is more to the fact thad those of us who are fans are looking forward to it, but kind of don't give two shits about it either. That is, yes, it's important but my life does not revolve around it where they literally have talked about it all season long.  My desire is winning to get to the SEC Championship game and for them to wallow in their misery. But damn my identity is not based on this game and we are getting a reminder of what it was like having them in the same conference.

I was there. Texas fans were quiet and Nebraska fans were all talking because nobody thought Texas could beat them. Except we own them. They didn’t like it.

That 9-1 run against Nebraska once we joined the Big 12 was hilariously embarassing for the Cornhuskers.  I think we broke them.

I was at UT the same time that you were.  One of my good buddies from high school went to aggy and joined the Corps.  After they beat us my freshman year we met up right after the game.  He was over the top with his obnoxiousness and would not shut up.  I simply walked away.  I may have spoken to him twice in the last 40 years.  What a shame.

Yes and the precise moment was Jamaal Charles’ two TDs and something like 200 yards in the 4th quarter.

Texas A&M football stays put at 15, raising an uncomfortable question: Could committee hold an SEC championship loss over Aggies' heads?

Texas A&M football has stayed put in this week's college football playoff rankings after their win over New Mexico State. It wasn't the opponent this week that had Aggie fans thinking they could move up, but the losses that occurred higher up in the rankings opening up spots.

However, both of those losing teams failed to tumble as far as Aggie fans had hoped. Tennessee dropped four spots down to 11, and BYU dropped eight spots down to 14, only one ahead of the Ags.

This means the Aggies are currently the lowest-ranked of the four two-loss SEC teams. It's not super close, either, despite some comparable resumes in certain respects.

Alabama is ranked higher due to their win over Georgia, despite the fact that one of their losses is to an unranked Vandy. Ole Miss is ranked higher due to their win over Georgia, despite the fact that both of their losses are to unranked teams—Kentucky and LSU. Tennessee is ranked higher due to their win over Alabama, despite the fact that they lost to a very unranked Arkansas.

I have no gripe with the Bulldogs' placement, though. Georgia being ranked higher makes sense, given that they have the highest-ranked win and both of their losses are to top-10 teams.

Both of A&M's losses are to ranked teams (no. 6 Notre Dame and no. 18 South Carolina), but their best win is the lowest-ranked out of these in no. 23 Missouri (who's barely hanging on down there).

This raises some uncomfortable questions. The Aggies get Auburn this week, over whom a win would not be particularly moving to the committee (unless the Aggies win by, like, 50). 5 Indiana and 2 Ohio State play each other, and 6 Notre Dame will play 19 Army, but there's not too much chance of any other ranked teams ahead of the Aggies tumbling (unless Texas sustains a loss to Kentucky, I mean).

I still don't think the loser of Indiana and Ohio State will fall below the Aggies—if BYU didn't, Indiana won't, and if Georgia didn't, Ohio State won't. That means that, going into rivalry weekend, if the Aggies take down Auburn, they will probably still be at 15, barring upsets.

So, then, it will be either 3rd-or-2nd-ranked Texas coming into Kyle Field to play 15th-ranked Texas A&M on rivalry weekend. If the Aggies win, though, the committee has a conundrum.

Texas will obviously slide, as they will have no good wins. A&M, who just beat them, will move above them. But when you compare the resume of the Aggies to Georgia at that point, they both have the same best win, and Georgia's two losses (again, 7 Alabama and 9 Ole Miss) are better than the Aggies' two losses.

If that logic is sound, then the Aggies are no higher than 9 at that point, going into conference championship weekend—Georgia would be at 8, given that one of Ohio State and IU would have slid, as would have Texas. If that's the case, the Aggies are in a dangerous spot.

That would pit 5 Alabama against 9 Texas A&M in the SEC championship. The Big 10 championship would be between top-4 Oregon and Indiana/Ohio State. Penn State, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, and Georgia would all be idle, since none would be playing in a conference championship.

This opens the door to a possible doomsday scenario: the Aggies make the SEC championship as part of the 12-team field, but lose in that game to drop out of that field.

This is currently more realistic than most A&M fans would like to admit. If the chalk plays out (which is a big if, in this sport), then A&M is in a perilous position here. It's hard to see the committee not moving A&M down if a loss occurred, and then there's the risk that other teams would jump them from below.

In all likelihood, the ACC championship would be between Miami and SMU, with the Canes still ranked higher than A&M. If both A&M and Miami lose, the Canes will probably not go lower than the Aggies, while the Ponies might move above them. BYU and Colorado (again, most likely) will be playing for the Big 12 championship, and the winner there could move ahead of A&M, as they would have (at most) two losses compared to A&M's three.

Again, this is a worst-case scenario. Some other upsets are likely to happen to aid the Aggies' chances. But if this comes to pass, Aggie fans will be white-knuckling it on Selection Sunday—not a position you want to be in.

Of course my pessimistic view also remembers that even with the beasts we had, our genius leadership on offense managed 3 field goals in the first three quarters of that game against one of the worst defenses in CFB with a coach about to be fired until their D tired out.

I know. Too soon.

Why does a band need banks of speakers? I’m assuming they mean they’ll mic the band and blare their trash out of the speakers.

Fucking moron...the SEC team that loses in the Title game is still getting a playoff spot.  

The only way they wouldn't is if complete fuckery happens the last 2 weeks and a team has 3 losses going INTO the SEC title game and loses.

If aggy wins out, and loses to Bama or whoever, they're getting in.  Same as Texas if they win out and lose.

We win out in regular season.
Texas gets left out.
We lose against Bama.
Recency bias puts Texas in over us even though we beat them because they have a better record.

And before you say no way that happens. You might wanna look at the history of love for Texas.


MisterJones5:28p, 11/19/24AG
I think the majority of this board would agree with you - this is a completely plausible scenario.

It's like it's all we've been talking about for weeks…

My apologies.

If we beat tu, there is no way they won't be in the playoff.

The committee will pick tu over Tennessee or Ole Miss any day.

Only way they drop out of top 12 is if they lose to us AND Kentucky

Mike Elko was asked about the difficulty of keeping his team focused on Auburn with the November 30th rivalry game vs Texas just around the corner: “Our focus is single-handedly on Texas…I mean Auburn…” The thing about what Elko said is that it just CANNOT be unsaid….no oops, I mean, nothing can take that away….he said it, and he actually meant it, meaning Elko knows just how important this game is to aggy nation…..very telling.  Auburn could win this game.

Ha! Had a HS friend in the corp and walked with a tuba but could not play, too!

Yes - as a HS grad, Class of 88, growing up in SETX with an abundance of aggy relatives, classmates/fans, and families, many of those only walked on that campus for game days, but I digress.

The JS era was painful as a youth/UT fan. That timeframe saw that our only saving grace was baseball! Each Christmas, my Dad knew that I wanted something “real UT,” and my teenage years being in SETX, he’d only be left with Austin (Rooster’s), so props to my Dad with me growing up prior to the pre-internet era of purchases. If the Baseball players or FB Coaches wore it in/on the dugout or the sideline (TV), I got a version of it.
