COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M has an answer to some speculation from outsiders that the Aggies are perhaps “ducking” an opportunity to play one-time rival Texas in the Advocare V100 Texas Bowl: No, they’re not.
Allow A&M athletic director Eric Hyman, whom I visited with at the A&M women’s basketball game on Wednesday night, to explain.
“Quite frankly, that’s a decision made by the conference,” said Hyman, who was taking in No. 5 A&M’s 76-55 whipping of Rice in Reed Arena. “The configuration is so different than it’s been in the past. They ask us to rank the bowls, and they ask the bowls to rank us. The (SEC) then ranks all the different teams from that, and that’s how the selection will be made.
“It doesn’t matter if I speculate about playing this team or that team in a bowl. It’s out of our control. … Wherever they tee us up, we’ll play
Another awful attempt.
You said the Big 12 had the easiest schedules BECAUSE of no championship. I put up a much easier SEC schedule leading to the SEC championship.I never said anything about SEC schedules. The SEC is the best conference hands down. That doesn't even need justification at this point.
So exactly where did you slip off the deck into deep water?
So are you refuting Blake claim that the road to a MNC is easier in the big 12 than the SEC?
In the East, yes.
With the schedule I showed, absolutely.
"In the east"
"With the schedule i showed"
Since not playing some of the best teams in the Conf. can get you to a championship game."In the east"
"With the schedule i showed"
yes.
Why does this escape the AGgIe ability to comprehend? You got acious conference schedules and pansy conference schedules in the SEC. This just migrated slowly over your head undetected?
Yeah, this is a real toughie right here:
Mobb Deep wrote a track about Aggy:
Smart move. Aggies are SEC ready, UT isn't.
Big 12 teams play 9 conference games, every team in the conference, and 3 OOC games.
SEC teams play 8 conference games, schedule W. Carolina, Samford, Charleston Southern, UL Monroe, etc etc in ing November. And the SEC east is about as tough at the ACC
Quit with the bull .
Much tougher than Missouri...Yeah, this is a real toughie right here:
What is the problem understanding bypassing the toughest teams in the conference Ags?
The big 12 has three bye weeks. SEC has two bye weeks. Playing an non-conf game in November makes up for that.
Florida plays Florida State every year, Georgia plays Georgia Tech, South Carolina - Clemson, A&M - Texas?, Kentucky - Louisville. Most SEC teams that do not have a in state OOC rivals to play schedule viable non conf opponents for example, this year: Auburn -K State, Bama - West Va, Georgia - Clemson, LSU - Wisconsin, Arky - Tech, Ole Miss - Boise.
If you cherry pick and look hard enough you can find a random schedule that doesn't fit the pattern and appears to be easier every now and then but stop acting like all SEC teams do nothing but play patsies OOC. Also, don't be one of those guys who doesn't understand scheduling, most of these OOC games are scheduled 5-10+ years in advance. It's nearly impossible to judge how good a team will be when you actually face them.
Anybody can go pick a team from a random conference compare it against the rest and call it easier. Big12 doesn't even play a championship game
Don't even know why I am getting into this tbh. The SEC is known to the be the strongest conference by anyone with a brain.
Never understood the championship game arguement. So 12 sec teams play 8 conference with no championship game and 10 b12 teams play 9 conference games. How does a championship game benefit 90% of the teams in the SEC? Seriously, just wondering...
And what's missing from this fallacy is that the NCAA REQUIRES 12+ team conferences to split into divisions and stage a champ game and DOES NOT ALLOW 10-team conferences to do so. Big 12 always played a le game when they had 12 teams.
The SEC East is kinda like the big 12.
but that SEC West gauntlet is brutal. And then there's still the SEC le game.
Lol aggy leaving an easier conference to take a beating.
but we're getting paid
At least Blake acknowledges who the better conference is, even if that isn't his intention.
"Doesn't matter if we still can't win, at least we have tougher opponents
No question the SEC West is the best. It's not even up for debate on whether it should be up for debate.
I don't blame aggy for playing Lamar, Sam Houston, lol utsa, and other scrubs before heading up against Bama, auburn and lsu. It makes it easier to get to det chick fil A bowl.
Now you have resulted to Blake's shtick. Man you are bad tbh."Doesn't matter if we still can't win, at least we have tougher opponents
You are using conference smack between two conferences where Aggy is/was a doormat. Sad.
The SEC is the best Conf. in my opinion. But the East is pure crap. I will say it again, UT could have made it to the SEC championship. And then some lucky to win the whole deal. There was no way UT was going to win the Big 12, no way, they have to play EVERY team. Why is this so difficult?
Because Blake says something you like you bold him and take his word as biblical... ? He has made much more of an impression on you than me. I think the Aggies made a great move. Now they can still lose but feel good about their conference.
The east won't be down forever. Florida, Georgia, Tennessee are all monster programs. Mix in South Carolina & Mizzou and that's a very respectable division when looking at college football history. Sure, the east is down this year and Mizzou's schedule is pretty weak but you have been insinuating that every SEC school has a schedule like that when it isn't true. Check every SOS measurement out there and SEC teams flood the top of the list.
