That was surprising to see, Buzz has been around the block a time or two and is well aware of the system, etc. and still so emotional some 48 hours plus later.

That being said, IMO, no doubt in my mind that A&M should've been in the Dance, especially before the likes of Rutgers, even ND.  A&M went into South Bend and beat the Irish head to head.  They were 15-2 prior to their major swoon of 8 straight losses from the third week in January to mid February.  However, they were losing to very good and ranked teams in UK, Arkansas, UT & LSU.  Their only real [I]'bad loss'[/I] in that span was against Mizzou, as USC finished at .500 in conference and had a winning record overall.

A&M crushed Alabama at Alabama in early March, and then went on to beat Florida, Auburn and Arkansas in the SEC tournament before losing out to Tennessee in the Championship game, who is another Top 16 seed in the Dance.  A&M's NET is 43.

There is no doubt in my mind, if we were A&M, this place would've literally crashed due to high volume, etc. as many more would have come out of the woodwork, screaming and crying how we were totally screwed!
