what he means is that they finished 2nd in the sec west. it just sounds more impressive to say "2nd in the sec," even if it's demonstrably not true.
it's kind of like claiming a conference championship on your stadium in a year you finish third in a three way tiebreaker and didn't play in the ccg.
Uh, no. It's because NO conference that has divisions does official standings of the entire conference, you moron.
Additionally, A&M never tried to claim we won the Big 12 in 1997 or 2010. The lettering that indicated they were Division titles didn't come in until after the sign was up. When they did, they put them up.
