I will start with I do believe there is bias that works against A&M Whatever criteria helps us will not be important So this year eye test or recent results would be important and NOT record
We looked bad ( failed the eye test and recency test) in our last 2 conference games
November is more important than September ( failed the recency bias)
Big win against ND is September would be less important
Although not as much as Texas we had some close games against teams with bad records Auburn, State & Arky
After the loss to Texas We are in the opinion of the media probably the 4 th best team in the SEC so not in the conversation of top four teams in the country
