The myth that the SEC West is ridiculously hard is part of the stigma about the SEC as a whole.

Alabama is on a different level.
LSU is a better program but they can be beaten.
Auburn is a good program but they aren’t great every year.
Ole Miss/Mississippi State/Arkansas are nothing special.

Again A&M has gone 4-4 in 8 game regular season 5 of 8 times.

That isn’t a ridiculous schedule.
Alabama is 1 loss.

A&M isn’t a better program than Michigan or Miami.

Harbaugh has taken Michigan to 2 NY6 in the last 5 years.
They can’t beat Ohio State.

A&M wouldn’t beat Ohio State.

Michigan is a better program easily.
A&M is a slightly better Virginia Tech.
A&M having leverage to stop the 6 Big XII teams to the PAC-10 doesn’t make them a blueblood.

They wanted to get out of Texas shadow. Texas is an actual blueblood. So they went to the SEC to get their own brand because they were stuck with Texas.
They didn’t even want Oklahoma or Texas coming into the SEC.

This was a reverse Virginia-Virginia Tech situation. A&M to be told to shut up by the SEC.

The college football expansion is going to get shelved because A&M leaked this OU/UT expansion into the SEC to try and stop it and now the other conferences aren’t going to give ESPN more time on its contract and reward the SEC.

So thanks blueblood A&M you did stop the expansion of the playoff.

A&M is a good program but they aren’t close to a blueblood.

They would be a bishop or knight on a chess board not even a rook.
