    They were like mid to late 30s in the polls. Not a push over by any means.

    The hate is strong in this one.

    Unranked doesn't necessarily mean bad.

    Frankly, I picked an upset in this one. The hogs are the best they have been in years. Looked like the Aggies were going down, but they had the miracle ending.

    Unranked definitely doesn't mean bad. Arkansas has two fantastic running backs and a huge, physical offensive line. They're far from being pushovers.

    The Aggies have a tough schedule ahead of them but they should beat LSU, Ole Miss, and Missouri at home. I'm curious to see how they look at Mississippi State, at Alabama, and at Auburn. They did a number on the Gamecocks on the road this year but I just don't think SC is that good.

    I think it's pretty obvious they aren't at this point. 2 home losses and struggled to beat Vanderbilt? South Carolina is bad this year.

    Ole Miss and LSU play A&M tough, but they'll beat Missouri with ease. I could see A&M winning anywhere from 2-5 of those 6 games. The SEC is weird this year.

    I think the SEC West comes down to AU vs UA. A&M will lose to both of them. They will probably also lose to Mississippi St if Dak Prescott doesn't give the game away with TOs.

    It's not a bad bet. AU and UA have owned the SEC for the last 5 years, and they once again look like the clear-cut two best teams so far. Whole lotta season left, though.

    actually I'm still 100% correct. When it takes a heroic and improbable comeback to defeat an unranked team, then I can confidently say that A&M is overrated.

    If you think that all unranked teams are equal, then you are proving how little you know about football. Will the Aggies go out and lose 3 games in conference play? Maybe...time will tell. Using this game as a measuring stick shows your ignorance.

    Remember that Auburn beat unranked and lowly Washington State by 7 points last year.

    pitiful argument from you

    I did not say all unranked teams are equal -- that is a truly ridiculous statement from you.

    Your entire argument was that it took a comeback against an unranked team. Period. No description other than unranked. Now you are back peddling and trying to deflect. Typical garbage post from you.

    I notice you didn't deny you're a troll. But its hard to deny the obvious I guess.

    I've watched you post in this thread for several years. It's always in an attempt to disparage the TAMU football program.

    You're continued obsession with trolling this thread is duly noted.

    You might consider trolling if your team lost to Old Dominion. :p

    That was last week; the did beat mighty Southern Mississippi yesterday.

    and that is a 100% legitimate argument. your defensiveness tells me I'm right

    I'm not the only one saying you are wrong. Not every unranked team is Rice.

    yeah bro you're toast

    You've now tried to interject two tangents into the discussion. 1) semantics around "not all unranked teams are the same"....which of course doesn't matter...even so they're ranked 20+ spots lower than A&M and 2) Rice, which has nothing to do with this discussion at all.

    tells me how wrong you are.
