Ranking the Texas teams after week 1
trying to save this thread. a decent idea poorly executed by yeoman
First, we eliminate from Top Contention all the private schools, commuter schools, directional schools, schools named after someone. Let them sort themselves out. They all suck. And, we eliminate Tx Tech. Their preseason hype is now being called the greatest deception in the history of college football, or "The Big Lie."
This leaves us with the Aggies and the Longhorns.

I'm not obsessed. let's get that out of the way. also, Aggie tackling is not good. One of the unfortunate traditions. It is what it is. so that discussion is also off the table. we're not kicking dead horses. (poor aggie tackling may have impacted the statistics that are about to be revealed...so we'll keep it in the back of our minds.)
NM Lobos total yards v Aggies 222
Rice U total offense v Horns 176
NM Lobos rushing 91
Rice U rushing 27
so this is typical for all the stats, on both sides of the ball. It goes on and on. Texas played a tougher opponent at home and outperformed the Ags. It shows up in the statistics. We sacrificed a few garbage Tds and worked out our kicker and special teams. In hindsight it's maybe something y'all should have done considering the blocked field goal. At the end of the day we're above you.
