What a great season overall. Blew my expectations in a big way. Elko from what I've seen in these 2 years is a brilliant coach. Probably top 5 in college. He's put together a phenomenal staff and team.

This team has the potential to go all the way. I've seen enough and I am able to be un emotional about one bland game. All these teams projected to be in the playoffs have weaknesses.

Bring on the playoffs.

4-1 in 5 true road games vs. P-4 opponents is outstanding

the Ags have rarely played that well on the road in a given year

Good thing Auburn Florida Mizzou Arky LSU and South Carolina were all worse than expected.

This argument is such a cope.
"You would have loved it in August if I told you we'd be 11-1."
Expectations change from August to Thanksgiving. Reality is we were 11-0 with a chance for a perfect regular season and to kick our arch rivals in the ass and we effing choked. Big time.

We lost. The good news is we found a way to win in ND and came back against SC. 11-1 with 3 weeks to reset

SEC Mike was predicting 10-2 and that was super optimistic pre season.

Our road wins are probably more impressive than anyone's. It's not like our best road wins were OT wins against UK and Miss State.

Honestly it wasn't out of the realm of possibility. Think about it. The whole o line returned. Will Lee and Moss announced they were returning. Which was huge. You had to think Reed would improve. The only concern was the D line. Which Elko killed the portal again. With oneyanemin and Dayon Haynes, and the rest. Craver and Conception were a surprise. They did everything right except stay with the run game( like the year before) my opinion.

9 Wins was my ceiling, so this team has way overachieved. One of the best Aggie football seasons I've witnessed.

These goalpost moves are bull***** If we started out 2-5 but finished 7-5 would you say it was successful because expectations changed as the season went on?


You wouldn't.

And yet, Burnt choked three games and did nothing to stop Elko and teams chance an NC.

Keep being a whining embarrassment.

Going from a ceiling of 9 to 11 had a lot to do with the under performance of LSU, S Car, Florida and Auburn. Could easily have seen 2 more losses if those teams played up to the level of expectation.

That being said, this Aggie team exceeded my expectations with the portal additions of Craver, Concepcion, Onyedim and Hayes

Not a cope at all. If anything being in the SEC has taught us the teams success is no longer defined by beating 1 school. Bigger things to accomplish. Too many people still want to define success as beating Texas….its time for that to die. It's fine to be disappointed but no shame in losing that game to a good team and yes….they got better by the end of the year. So be it. Next up a playoff game!

I'm happy overall because it has been a fun season. However, to address the post, if you hooped have told me that LSU, South Carolina, Auburn, Florida and Arkansas were going to. E garbage then yes I would have expected better than 9-3. My pause for over optimistic is that our first game against a team that had athletes like us we were pushed around. We have a coach who can't figure out how to stop the run. We are penalized way too much, and get gashed on one big play after another. That makes me pause. I'm not a Debbie downer but there are real concerns for this team.

i feel like i am an internal optimist aggie fan by and large and i thought we would go 9-3 if things broke juat right maybe 10-2. 11-1 absolutely exceeds my expectations coming into the season. but sense we are here might as well add a few more wins to the total.

There's frustration after a tough loss in a 11 win season and then there is this days later. Please seek some professional guidance.

People keep saying that but we don't know that yet. Incredibly easy schedule and we lost to the only good conference opponent we played. Next year will be a step back with the schedule we have coming up.

Another insistent cope thread.

We're not going to stop being angry about this loss.

Yup. And we gave them all losses to "bolster" their final records.

This. I remember commenting that I would likely enjoy an 8-4 season and be thrilled with 9 wins and a late season argument for playoff participation.

I actually did predict us going 11-1 pre-season, but I didn't think we'd lose to t.u. I had Missouri or ND as our 1 loss. But, I'm still happy that we're gonna be in the CFP. We will be competitive, and we will see a different team in those games.

Also had the chance to lose three of the games that led up to that, but found a way to win them. Quit whining.

There wasn't anything "incredibly" easy about the schedule. You bought into a line repeated by people with an agenda. The bottom half of the sec is still full of talent. And the team who caused your pouting two days ago lost to one of those teams.

They could easily say that if A&M hadn't improved so much they'd each have one more win. With so many good teams in the SEC there can't be 10 8-4 or better schools. Several schools are going to lose more games than what was thought or were projected.

I was an 8-4, 7-5 guy before the season started. Don't think it was being negative, I just couldn't see better given our opponents. I also didn't realize LSU would have such a bad season, for their standards.

Here's another doomer who has been wrong ALL SEASON.

I'm glad we finally lost a game so you dumbasses can feel validated.
