Only reason A&M won.....

    I think that says even more about the SEC.

    A program with a new HC and new system on both sides of the ball, plus a first year starter at QB, is making the SEC look easy.

    Guess it hurts you too much to admit atm has a better team than Texassorry

    And Jim Harbaugh took a 6-10 49ers team and turned them into a 13-3 team the next year.

    NFL sucks!11!

    Different program. Apples to oranges.

  • Here's what I think. A&M's running an explosive offense in a conference where the players and coaches are completely unfamiliar with it. Completely, as in they look lost. The Alabama game was a good example. 20 of their 29 points were scored in the first quarter - their first 3 possessions.. Alabama pretty much stuffed them the rest of the game after they put a spy on the qb and started keeping the receivers in front of them. Let's look how they're doing in 2-3 years when the SEC catches up. I personally think any no huddle spread offense from the Big XII would have had the same success as aggie - they don't know how to defend it there - yet.

    So I guess LSU beating Oregon and West Virginia last year doesn't count?

    Pace based offenses are tough to prep for, but aTm has one of the better OL units in the country.

    I think that has more to do with their success, on offense, than teams not knowing how to defend it.

    Nah. They weren't SEC teams, so they weren't quality wins.

    A&M probably could have gone 9-3 or 10-2 last year instead of 7-6 if they were already playing an SEC schedule , judging by how they had Arkansas beat (the #5 ranked team in the nation at end of last year) before blowing a big 2nd half lead and losing 42-38.

    A&M is still blowing 2nd half leads though, or else they would have gone through the SEC undefeated this year.

    However, they went undefeated on the ROAD this year in SEC play, going a perfect 4-0. Maybe their toughest road game was their 59-57 win at LaTech.
    The most an SEC team scored on A&M so far was Ole Miss- 27.

    Interesting -
    A&M's 4 OOC opponents avg = 25.2 ppg
    (which included 2 D1aa teams, LaTech, and a bad SMU team)

    A&M's 7 SEC opponents avg = 19.8 ppg

    That's A&M playing big time SEC defense right there boy!

    vs SMU- 48-3
    vs Sac St- 70-14
    vs La Tech- 59-57
    vs Sam Houston St- 47-28 (aTm was up 47-0)

    OOC>>SEC

    It is impressive what Sumlin has been able to do this season, but IMO it does show that the SEC isn't invincible like fans and ESPN believes. There are some good defenses, one or two good offenses, and several strong home field advantages.

    I don't see how a program with a new HC, new systems, and a freshman QB should be tearing up a conference that was supposed to be much more difficult than the one the more talented team failed miserably in the year before. The defense was awful last season, and has a bunch of new starters in the secondary including two underclassmen at CB. I know the SEC doesn't have many good QBs, but NOBODY can tear those guys up? I expected more from the "toughest conference in the land."

    Yerp, he did. Terrible matchup for us, and he exploited it to the fullest.

    Don't see how that relates to the SEC argument though. Nice try? shrug

    What sec argument?

    About it being overrated? On a team by team basis, that may be the case.

    College football is all about analyst getting too caught up in their own allegiances/agendas.

    The real difference lies within the actual strength of the "football programs." There are some great football programs in the south.

    LSU beat Washington by 38, Washington beat Stanford by 4, Stanford beat Oregon by 7, Oregon beat Arizona by 49, Arizona beat Oklahoma St by 21, Oklahoma St beat Texas by 5, so LSU should beat Texas by 127 points. Great logic buddy

    His is better. His has less games in the trail.

    Yes there are. There are some pretty darn good ones in other parts of the country though, and media outlets today don't seem to give programs outside of the SEC much attention.

    I'm also not a Texas fan. I guess you got confused by all the big numbers I posted. I'll try and keep in mind your low IQ in my next post.

    Your team looks like crap against Ole Miss and Auburn, and gets beat by Bama and an overrated Florida team.

    You would be mediocre in any conference, whether it's the SEC or the Big East.
