Bama at #3 is a joke. There are at least 10 teams I have seen that would beat them.

They will get in over any other one team if it comes down to it and probably rightfully so, if they win their conference. Lose to Clemson today and that might not happen though.

FIFY

They won't get to be the wrecking crew this season (IMO anyway) but I see it in the future. But heck they don't have to be. They only need to be the "let's get a few timely stops" defense. That offense isn't going to require many shutouts. I don't care who they are playing.

Took em a while to get going but when that train gets rolling.... They need to put the 12th man in at QB. Bet they still score ;)

Thanks. I remembered reading something about it. That would be awesome if he did. I don't know the kid but have heard nothing but good things about him.

Dang. A&M's enrollment is wayyy up. It WAS around 40k back when I was in school. UT was just she of 50k. I know UT has around 52k on campus now. Does the A&M figure only include the CS campus (if anyone knows)?

He needs a half hour in a locked room with AP with a switch IMO. With immunity granted to Peterson ahead of time.

Me too - 100%. Maybe I am seeing it wrong or am desensitized to language stuff but it seems to me the offense he got suspended for is being an immature a-hole. I am sure you and PM19 are correct on WHY it happened. But to me, I would rather see him suspended for 3 or 4 games for committing the crime of theft from a grocery store than a half, a quarter, or a series for this. (I use the theft as an example because I don't think any of us really knows what happened in the rape case. If he did that, he shouldn't be playing football anywhere IMO.)

Kid is a beast. Didn't he win the NC as a freshman in the shot?

Very true. Question is ratio. I would say 3-1 or 4-1 Aggie crowd.

Not sure on him yet. But I can say we might have the best punter in the country. He gets a lot of in game reps though.

Allegedly he originally wanted to come to Texas but Mack passed. We would take him but Strong has already put an intial 27 game suspension in place for him should he transfer.

I am torn on this one. I don't have a big problem with the suspension but I COMPLETELY get what you're saying too.

I definitely agree Coach Sumlin has them heading in the right direction. Vegas had their win total this year at 7.5 or 8 I believe. Who wants to wager they don't win 9 games now? A lot of football left to be played but if that defense grows up each week as they might with their youth, that is one scary football tam.

Actually, last year their seasons were very similar. A&M squeaked out a bowl win against duke and Texas lost theirs to Oregon. Going into those games, their records were identical. A&M responded by giving their coach a 6 year extension (like they did with Frantastic and the Shermanator after less than ideal seasons). Texas "fired" theirs. Expectations I guess. Having said that, through 3 games this season, I would say Sumlin's extension looks well deserved.

I wasn't on this board last football season so I wouldn't know. If you follow my posts, I do believe margin of victory is telling. In fact, I think to disregard it is ridiculous. That being said, if you do win them ALL, like auburn last year, then you've done your job. As for your reference about "except A&M," I've been very impressed and said so several times with this team. In fact, if I'm putting together the playoffs today, it would be OU (look slightly better than Baylor to me), Oregon, fsu, and A&M. And any of those four winning a playoff wouldn't surprise me one iota.

They are significantly better this year. I think OU will beat them worse than Bama though, even on the road. I don't think wvu would play that closely with A&M either. But they are significantly better this year. As for an upgrade, that pat white/Steve slaton (and the Owen guy that was a big bruiser Rb) team was probably better than any of A&M's in the last 15 years or so, other than the '12 team. After they left, not so much. Rich Rod had it going there for a while.

^ Does anyone speak illiterate? I need a translation.

Can't be worse than K St's!

Tee hee! Wva is a bottom feeder in the big 12. Almost took out the powerhouse of the sec. Let me translate for ya - if Ky or vandy took OU or Baylor to the wire, it would be similar. Hope that helps. Carry on now.

A&M is the best team I have seen in the SEC this year. And I think it's safe to say after this game, the fsu-ok st game, and the Bama-west va game that the big 12 is better than you Sec'ers give them credit for. I am starting to believe Buddy G. I am thinking Oregon vs the Baylor/OU winner for all the marbles.

Coming from a fan of "let's give him an extension" U 😂

Can I have k st +31?

Heck it's the game of the year! Said 1984..
