The Aggies are not that much different from Missouri, South Carolina or Vanderbilt — they are SEC in name only.
There is no good way to spin this: Other than the check, the Aggies’ decision to go to the SEC has been a joke. Unless the Aggies don’t have the best quarterback in college football running the show, they are not that good. A move that once looked so promising continues to be played out as predicted. The Aggies can’t hang in the SEC, just as they could not in the Big 12.
Other than the wondrous first season of John Manziel at A&M, which coincided with the team’s first year in the SEC in 2012, this is a middle tier Power 5 team.
We keep hearing how the talent level in College Station has increased dramatically thanks to the Aggies’ move to the SEC, but the results indicate that is yet another fraudulent claim. The best players the Aggies have had in the SEC were all recruited to the school when it was in the Big 12, under coach Mike Sherman — Von Miller, J. Football, that dominant offensive line.
There were just as many good players in College Station when the Aggies were in the Big 12 as there are now, and the end results look the same, too — right in the middle.
