If a team breaks a 14 game losing streak against ranked AP opponents, does it really count if the win is vs aggy?

Does if you're War Eagle and the season they've had. If you look closely, they've had a gut wrenching one and based on their history this season and past... I thought they were going to choke that game away.

Texas A&M football has thrived as the hunter.  
BV note:  "thrived"????????
200.gif
Now, they need to get used to becoming the hunted.
The Aggies currently sit at 8-3 following a gut-punch loss to the Auburn Tigers on the road in quadruple overtime. It was as close as it gets in that kind of game, and there's all sorts of Monday morning quarterbacking we can do now that the game is over, but the plain fact is that it shows up as an L.

Still, the margins were extremely thin. If Keandre Lambert-Smith bobbles his catch, and Amari Daniels makes the grab, then the storylines are about this team overcoming adversity in a tough environment to set up a huge game. That's how close we were to a complete narrative swing.
But the fact is, this is where this Texas A&M football team is.
How did they get here?

We've seen a big culture shift in the Texas A&M program since the arrival of Mike Elko. The team is playing much more to their potential, even throughout some very unfortunate injuries.
But Rome wasn't built in a day. Sometimes, there's a fuller culture shift that needs to take place that can't happen in just one year.
This Aggie team, if they want to be successful, needs to learn how to win as the favorite—the big time team competing against the little guy.

To this point in the season, they're not there. Twice this month alone, the Aggies have rolled into raucous environments, fans ardently seeking a huge win, and they have given them just what they were looking for. The Aggies have been two teams' best win of the year; a pivot point for both South Carolina and Auburn.
While their opponent was just another team, that opponent viewed A&M as their chance to make a statement. In both games, the home team raced out to a huge lead—even though the Aggies battled back, it was a slow start that doomed them in the end.
If you want to be a contender—if you want to be a championship-level program—you have to learn how to come into these environments with a killer mentality. Instead, the Aggies have been on their back foot almost immediately.

Elko is getting this program where it needs to go. But there's another, important step that needs to be taken.
Hopefully, we see them take that step soon.

This guy has been busy being butthurt:

In a game that many Texas A&M football fans are watching with interest due to the playoff implications, Indiana is currently losing big to Ohio State. This is a matchup of two teams at the top of the Big 10 record-wise, but two teams who have pretty opposite strengths of schedule thus far.
This is the first tough team that Indiana has faced, while Ohio State is significantly more battle-tested at this point. In fact, as Indiana has ascended to 10-0, this is the third game against a top-5 opponent that Ohio State has played yet this season.

To highlight that fact, the broadcast went to a timely trivia question, as is a staple on college football broadcasts. It went like this: what was the last team to face three top-5 AP opponents in a single season?
Joel Klatt, infamous among Aggie fans for his constant ribbing of the Maroon and White, opined at first that it must be a SEC West or Big 10 East team, given the difficulty of those divisions. He finally settled on LSU—which the answer indeed was, pointing to their 2011 season.
Here's the problem: that's an incorrect answer.

Texas A&M football in 2019 had one of the most difficult schedules I've ever seen a college football team take on. The Aggies played three different teams ranked no. 1 in the AP Poll: Clemson early on, Alabama in the middle of the year, and LSU in the final game of the year.
That's not to mention that they played on the road at no. 4 Georgia and hosted a top-10 Auburn team. Unsurprisingly, they lost all five of those games, and won every single other one.
So it wasn't just three AP top-5 teams; it was four. And yet the Aggies were overlooked.

The only way I can make sense of this is that the question must have meant exactly three AP top-5 teams, which was not explicitly stated, or that it meant both teams must be top-5. Again, that was not explicitly outlined in the question.
This is more than likely a harmless oversight on the part of the stats department, but it remains a fact that not enough is made of that difficult 2019 schedule for A&M.
 

Hopefully his readers don’t fact check him, they were 11 in SOS since they scheduled tx state, Lamar, and UTSA.

Well, that's just part of being the hunted, right? People deliberately diss you on trivia questions. That's how you know you've arrived.

Texas A&M football brought back to life by huge catch and run by Noah Thomas
Texas A&M football, after going down by three touchdowns, has caught all the way up to the Auburn Tigers. We now have a dogfight on our hands.


The Aggies looked dead in the water early in the second quarter. They were unable to get anything going, and the defense was as porous as we've seen it this year.

Before the half, though, the Aggies scored a touchdown. Then again on their first possession of the second half.

Then, after turning the Tigers away on a three and out, it only took the Aggies one play to tie things up. Marcel Reed connected with Noah Thomas on an absolute dot to send no. 3 to the house.

This was a huge turning point in this game. The wind completely went out of a crowd that had up until that point been absolutely ferocious. The Aggies now feel much more in control of this game, and are about to get the ball back after the Tigers missed a field goal.

With Oklahoma leading Alabama right now, there's a solid chance that the Aggies will be able to make the SEC Championship no matter what happens tonight. But for their College Football Playoff chances, the Ags desperately need to win this one and next week against Texas.


This catch by Thomas could be a pivot point for the entire season in hindsight. There's a lot of game left, but the Aggies are sitting in a good spot now.

BV note: Not a pivot point for the entire season.

That guy is a hoot.  Texas should feed the troll and video a thousand or so people storm the field at DKR right as the Horns win this coming week.  Then put the video on all aggy social media sites.  Can’t do it at Pyle, otherwise some manslaughter and a few murders would likely occur.

this is legitimately some of the funniest shit I've seen all day, holy shit. I've never seen somebody so pathetic, lol. Absolutely no shame, jfc. Imagine getting this erect over white knighting a bunch of 18 year olds at the expense of your own actual career respectability. "CUCK" as I believe the kids call it.

Kalen DeBoer supposedly handled his transition at UW terribly.  I believe there was an audio clip of him announcing it to the team and it was along the lines of "big opportunity for me, wish you guys the best." Heard rumors he was pretty universally disliked by his team after that meeting. 

Some of them still followed him to bama.

Cignetti had around 9 follow him to Indiana from JMU.

Elko's former players are smart enough to realize the Duke degree and alumni network have considerably more value than the aTm degree and network.  And, if they were NFL talents at Duke, it's not like going to aTm would help.

All valid points.  Still it is saying something regardless.

"110k screaming Ags".

Let's see.  Capacity at Kyle Field is 102,733.  Will they oversell?  Sure.  Will there be zero Texas fans there?  Not even close.

Aggies just can't help but inflate their narrative.  It is by far the most self-congratulatory, myopic fanbase in college football.
