Honestly, if anyone truly deserves the #1 status it should be Oregon. Even they don't deserve "by a mile" given their uber close win over Ohio St

Time to dial it back a bit, Ags!

0 chance Texas makes the playoffs after we beat them 70+.

I'm seriously wondering if missing out on the SEC championship is a better scenario than going there and losing. Do we think a 3 loss SEC championship runner up gets in over a two loss team that didn't make the championship? In our scenario, I could see people saying "well they lost to Texas twice, they had their shot" and I would have a hard time arguing with that.

If this season turns into another 2007 during the BCS era when LSU won the natty with 2 losses a spot could open up.

A&M needs to go to Atlanta and play for an SEC title to get the monkey off its back. It would be a huge step for the program regardless of the result, as much as it would suck to lose and potentially miss out on a playoff spot. Win and you're on a gravy train with biscuit wheels.

This is nothing new, though, considering most losers in Atlanta haven't advanced anyway. Georgia was arguably the best team in the country last year and still missed the playoff after barely losing to Bama.

The ND rematch would be intriguing but it's far too easy for them to flip 2 team's seeds to schedule around that in the first round. Notre dame is a cash cow and they would want them against a new opponent

At this point I want the Ags to get past Starkville. Then my brother comes for his first ever night game at Kyle to hopefully BTHO red stick

Maybe… but a rematch of an early season matchup might also play well for ratings.

I see many rematches in the future of CFB with the new conference setups and playoff format. It's inevitable, and will have an NFL-style feel to it come playoff time.

But it sounds like he has us losing 2x to the sips and then having Notre Dame in the 1st round of the playoffs. Weird things like this can happen, not sure if good, but would be interesting.

I'd take losing to them twice if it meant beating ND and them in a final rematch for the championship.

If we can beat S Carolina and LSU then we are legit. BAS says we are close in the games but can't find away to make the plays to win them. We are getting better and under new staff so there is hope.

Best Miss State and then have a solid win against LSU and then I'll jump on the hype train.

Yep place will be in full 2012/2020 on steroids mode at that point.

This won't be a popular post here or on the Texas sites, but as a proud husband of a Texas grad and a proud father of a Texas Aggie, I'm loving the prospect of A&M & Texas playing again.

I was one of the few folks who hated to see the game die in 2011 and always hoped it would be resurrected somehow. And now, there's a chance, albeit slim, that Texas walks through the tunnel at Kyle Field 11-0 against a 10-1 Aggie team.

Can you imagine how absolutely crazy that scene would be? That game would be the be-all-end-all of college football rivalry games. The CCG would be a let down.

Yep, I already said this two weeks ago. We are setting up to potentially make all the SEC whine and cry. Watching the two Texas schools play in a repeat game and then potentially match up for a 3rd in the CFP.

This would be acceptable, although sips would get as much media love from it too.

Thing is....Texas is gonna lose two games prior to coming to Kyle.

They absolutely are not, unfortunately.

texas may lose one game but I do not see 2. Even with 2, they are in.

They will be double digit favorites in every game other than Ga and maybe us.

---

Vandy will beat them. Arkansas might.

Kentucky may also surprise them too.

They'll have 2 losses before the SEC championship game

---

That would be a (pretty big) no.

Let's just BThO of MSU and go from there
