Nah, y'all betas just accept whatever the media tells you as gospel. Nothing wrong with speaking facts, you'll be able to handle it just fine I'm sure.

Pop a gummy. Will help you relax and enjoy the season.

I think we will go 12-0, thats not BAS.

But you can objectively see how the Committee, and by extension the media, have ignored their criteria of SoS/SoR to elevate some teams and devalue others. Youre a fool if you dont realize this fact.



Absolutely THIS.
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!...FIGHT! MAROON! & WHITE! WHITE! WHITE!

NEWSFLASH: College Football fans and media don't give respect to anyone they don't want to, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary. I'm guilty of this myself. I consider any and every accomplishment tu has ever had to be ill-gotten or the result of extraordinary luck.

Let's just enjoy the wins, and to hell with anyone who doesn't respect them. The cool thing is that with a 12-team playoff, being underrated can't hurt us. The top 4 all get a bye. It really doesn't matter if Indiana and OSU are ranked higher, if we deserve to we'll get a chance to settle it on the field.

Whining about potential negative spin in the context of us winning a national championship is seriously next level.

Right? The mental mathematics that some of you have to go through. It's exhausting.

To me, I care less what the narrative is when we win.

Making the college playoff is the goal and from there, cement your status as a program, but they can't take away a playoff appearance by any means.

Ranked #3 in the country


Yeah... the media hates us



We are #3 because we are 8-0 and they have no choice.

The "committee" gave every lame excuse as to why we weren't good enough to be considered in the same breath as IU and OSU despite the fact that by every metric they created we have been better.

This is demonstrably not true, and ignores what the spokesman for the committee actually said.

This is the transcript:

Quote:

Q. Just wanted to ask, what did y'all see in A&M, and can you elaborate on any particulars about A&M's defense that separated them behind Ohio State and Indiana right now?

MACK RHOADES: Yeah, so what we saw in A&M is a really, really good football team. They went into Death Valley, I thought dominated a good LSU team. You have a dynamic playmaker at quarterback, Marcel Reed. He can beat you with his arm. He can beat you with his feet. Impressive win, certainly going on the road, South Bend.

I think you're talking about really small margins when you think about the difference between Ohio State, Indiana and A&M, and then I think statistically when we looked at A&M defensively, they're just lower than both Ohio State and Indiana. We had to make a hard decision, and you're trying to find separators, and that was a separator for us.

That is not saying we don't deserve to be in the same breath as these other teams. In fact, it's saying the exact opposite.

The reality is that most reasonable people see these three teams as close. It's justifiable to say A&M should be No. 1. But it's also reasonable to say Indiana or Ohio State should be 1. Both teams have more wins over the top 25, by the way. Neither team struggled with a team as bad as Arkansas.

The media is not out to get us. Two analysts said on the ESPN show that A&M should have been 1. The Athletic wrote an article with the headline, "Indiana over Texas A&M is Playoff committee's misfire with initial rankings."

Lord, I wish we lived in a world where people didn't automatically assume malfeasance or conspiracy every time something happens that they don't like.

If we win our games, we'll be fine.



This times 1,000. Think about the rankings from other team's perspective. The common thread in the CFP top 10 is an easy schedule. Ohio St, Indiana, Ole Miss, Tech, BYU, and Oregon all have easier schedules than A&M, Georgia, Bama, and Notre Dame. It's not just A&M fans complaining about media bias..

Much truth to what OP is saying. You youngins just don't get the narrative the media has placed on Aggies over the years. I turn on Sirius college sports and they won't mention aggies. all they talk about is "what's wrong with the Longhorns" ESPN comes up with their outlandish statistics that control public opinion. Example.....A&M has not defeated a conference top ten opponent, on the road, at night, on a Thursday in 80 years!!!!! you get my point. You guys say well just win. Well that's hard to do when the only way you can win is by blowing someone out to compensate for the holding calls , PI calls, and touchdowns taken. back. One more thing. What a homer tool Rick Neuhaisel is. What did Aggies do to him when he was at Colorado that made him hate.

They are forced to put the undefeated SEC leader above the 1 losses.

If Uga or bama was 8-0 with the EXACT same schedule and game outcomes, they would easily be #2 if not #1.

Yes they would. UGA and Bama have played and beaten better teams than we have. Look at who we have played so far, every team is in the bottom half of the SEC.

Alabama
Wisconsin
FSU
ULM
LSU
UT
USC
Vandy
UGA
EIU
MIZZOU
EIU
Auburn

UGA
Marshall
Austin Pea
UT
BAMA
t.u
Florida
UK
Ole Miss
Charlotte
MISS ST
GA TECH
Auburn

Current Rankings of SEC teams played so far. Yes, both Bama and UGA have much better resumes than we do if they were undefeated. Had Bama not laid an egg against FSU they would be #1 or #2.


AGGIES
#10 ND
4/5 have fired their coaches

BAMA
Georgia #5
Vandy # 16
Mizz #14
Tenn #25

UGA
Tenn #25
Bama #4
Ole Miss #6

We just need to focus on beating Missouri to improve to 9-0 and start 6-0 in SEC play for the first time ever. A road win at Missouri would also snap a 4-game November SEC losing streak, a 6-game losing streak against Power 4 teams in November or later, and a 7-game November road losing streak.

Wuuuut?

The OP, posted his/her opinion that was formed off what was a lie or something they "misinterpreted" and thats going easy on the OP.

Then, the facts were laid out

We ARE in the same breath as OhSU and Indiana. Ohio State won last year and there is a **** load of recent history, particularly last year, bias in ANY ranking. That's nothing new. Indiana has, quite simply, blown people out. Their conference wins were by 53, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 45. Ours were by 6, 22, 17, 3, and 24. Only 2 of our conference opponents have won 5 games while 3 of their's have won 6 or more. Our win over ND doesn't make up for any of that. Too many of you seem to think it does.

Unless Indiana or Ohio State lose, they're almost certainly going to be seeded ahead of us. At the end of the year, we may have a BETTER argument in that respect, but right now, we don't.

If you're going to the game, Missouri has several options
. We stopped at Buc-ee's on I 35 and got a big old bag of Gummies…. All they did was make my teeth hurt. We ate about half a bag…. Now my wife's on a sugar high, and my teeth are hurting…. How many of these Gummies are you supposed to eat?
