Over/Under on posters making posts about being at 7 and how its disrespectful.

The 6 teams ahead of the Aggies all won their games this past weekend. The committee is not going to reward us for losing to a rival that Ohio St, Georgia and Florida all beat.

Posters keep bringing up Florida, guess what, the Aggies lost to texas who lost to Florida. Let that sink in.

So post your little rants about being disrespected. What was disrespectful, was watching an Aggie team get manhandled by a lesser opponent. Last Friday only showed that this team is soft in big moments. Doesn't matter who the Aggies play at home in the playoffs, this Aggie team will get pushed around and lose in the first round.

This has been fun, back to work.

You realize all those teams already had a loss. So no, they could have ranked us anywhere in that group.

So your logic is flawed.

However, I'm not melting down bc I knew they might do it. Not bc it's correct. Just bc I know that's what they do.

They are a protected blue blood. We are not. It's that simple.

Those teams lost in the middle of season. Aggies took their one loss at the end of the season.

Or it could also be that the Ags looked absolutely terrible in the second half of a high stakes, late season, nationally televised road game.

Combine that with the lackluster showing in the first half of the SC game, and the best win of the season being a 1 point road victory in September over a team that could get bumped out of the playoffs and you have a perfect recipe for dropping the Ags to #7.

Ags will still get a home game to show they are for real. They should win it against whichever team gets sent to Kyle.

Who has Tech or Oregon played? We are far more impressive than both of them.

To be fair both Mack Rhoades AND Hunter Yuracheck both were finalists that we turned down for Trev. So they might have an ax to grind against us lol

You didn't watch that OSU Michigan game, did you?

Ohio State was favored by 3 scores at home.

No meltdown here.
I'm not surprised at all by the ranking. The committee would rather not have A&M in the playoffs at all.
I've posted that there's a real possibility that we might not be hosting a playoff game.
If and when that happens then you'll see a meltdown!

Where am I trolling, exactly? Which part of my statement do you take issue with?

I think the Ags win their home playoff game at 8 (or 7, depending on what happens). I think they have a good shot at beating either Indiana or UGA in round 2.

We embarrassed Florida and they fired their coach, so not a very good argument there...

Well, the comment you are replying to is about how teams were treated after a loss in the last week. One got hammered in rankings, the other didn't.

Terrible game, playing and coaching, in the final game of the year against a team you should beat comes with a price. As it should.

If the sips would have played Florida like they did us in 2nd half, they wouldn't have lost.

Brilliant move by tech to lose to unranked Arizona state earlier in the season. That's so much better than losing late to a team still being discussed as a cfp team by some....

Well, for starters, Texas is not an inferior team. They underachieved the first half of the year.

Saying the Ags looking terrible against an inferior team being why they dropped so far isn't true. Especially when you can look to a year ago when Ohio State looked much more terrible against a far more inferior opponent and didn't drop at all, instead it was "it's a rivalry game."

Yes, last year doesn't matter for this year. It's still indicative how how blue bloods are treated.

Wait

After trolling did you really just state I don't troll. LOL

FYI

If you were actually good at trolling. You would not need to state you are not trolling.

Sorry, I'm not following. Which part of my post do you believe is "trolling"?

What, specifically, do you take issue with?

Dominating your opponents is a thing. We beat LSU and Missouri pretty good, but otherwise we didn't pound anyone. We can complain all we want about the strength of the SEC, but the committee likes beat downs. We didn't deliver.

To be clear, I laid out more than one factor in my post. I'm not sure why you are ignoring the totality of what I said in order to focus on simply one thing.

But, I will happily address it so you aren't confused.

The Ags have shown a trend in their last two games against FBS opponents to not play well. Remember that it took an historic comeback against a very bad team to win a game by 1 point. Then, the Ags didn't play great in the first half against texas (well enough to have the lead, but not up to their full potential), then got out coached and out played, badly, in the second half.

You keep trying to rely on one-game from a year ago when it isn't comparable. Not only because every year is different, but also because the Ags haven't played well the last 2 games (I'm ignoring Samford), and their marquee win was by 1pt against a team that could miss the playoffs.

Could A&M have been ranked higher? Yes.

Is being ranked #7 outrageous? No.

I was a heavy poster this weekend.

Dont care anymore. We're in and in the top 8. We're hosting a playoff game. .01% of texags poster made that prediction prior to the season.

Bring it on. We're a great team and 4 teams are abiut to find out

I thought you were talking about the Texas game, so I misunderstood. I think I got you mixed up with OP due to nesting quotes.

I do think it's a joke that Ole Miss gets the benefit of playing a G5 team after losing a head coach and having a squeaker against Washington State only because they lost earlier. But you deal with the hand dealt.
Gaius Rufus

I absolutely agree about ole miss. I'm not sure how they didn't lose ground after basically the whole staff leaving.

You are right too. At the end of the day, you play what you got. I fully believe the Ags can make a deep run in the playoffs and I'm excited to see a home play off game.

What did Ole Miss and Oregon do that was so impressive? We beat State, Florida, LSU and Mizzou by 3 scores.
