In listing of decade's alpha dog in college football, the four letter network rated us as a tier two program (#29). The reason,
The Aggies finally ended a dubious trifecta of unsightly droughts last season, finishing with a winning record, beating Texas and playing in an upper-tier bowl game for the first time since 1999. But coach Dennis Franchione still hasn't produced the types of campaigns the Aggies enjoyed under former coach R.C. Slocum, who went 42-5-1 from 1991 to 1994. Franchione is 25-22 in four years in College Station and still might not be off the hot seat.
While I don't disagree with that assessment, placing teams like Georgia Tech, TCU, and Notre Dame above us is crap. Also, Texas above OU? Considering the last ten year. No way.

while I have grown to dislike the "little cable network in the woods" over the past year or so...all they are about these days is "what have you done for me lately?"...but the sad fact is...those other schools have had an extra season or two of better production while A&M has still stuggeled under Coach Fran not turning the corner...hey it could be worse right...?????
