Couldn't help myself and looked it up. TCU was actually good, but they were in a nobody division back then.

You talking about 2002 Iowa coached by the best coach in the Big Ten? We dodged a bullet there.

Sounds overly optimistic; I don't think the SEC is that anxious to get better recruiting access to Pennsylvania.Texas A&M is to the BIG XII just as the Penn State is to the B1G.

wait, was there any actual debate about which roster had more talent?
SKULL SESSION: TEXAS A&M FANS THINK THEIR RECORD IS BETTER THAN OHIO STATE, THE GAME'S CANCELLATION COST FOX $18 MILLION, AND MIKE TOMLIN PRAISES CHASE YOUNG
0 > 1? I learned a long time ago that devoted college football fandom is much more similar to substance addiction than we’d all like to admit.
I mean, think about the monetary and time commitment, the everyday dedication, the insane things we rationalize, the arguments we're willing to have, the impact it has on our emotional wellbeing, etc. It's like an addiction to drugs.
That's why I'm not shocked at all that a Texas A&M fan went online today to essentially argue with strangers that one is less than zero. Because when you really break it down, that is the argument this poor fellow pulled out.
It started out reasonably harmless – or at least, as "harmless" as convincing yourself of something untrue can possibly be – with just some standard insane arguments about Aggies' playoff resume.
Now, you'll notice that a column for "losses" does not appear anywhere. But this lad had an absolutely galaxy-brained response to someone who very reasonably pointed that out to him, which basically translates to "being undefeated is actually worse than getting blown out in a football game."
Folks, let me introduce you to my new favorite stat called "adjusted losses."
Look, I love advanced stats. I think they're great and I think there's probably even a place for this one. But using it like this makes it look like you're on drugs – which, as mentioned, you could argue that he basically is.

Just sayin': Reminds me of 2014, whining that Baylor and/or TCU are better than Ohio State.
what the hell is an adjusted loss?
A&M wasn't about recruiting Texas. Whole conference already did that fairly well.
it was all about TV in Texas (especially the Houston Market).

Ooops, it was in this one:
Texas A&M fans upset with comments made by ESPN broadcast crew during LSU game
Texas A&M took down LSU 20-7 on Saturday night. After being ranked No. 5 in the first College Football Playoff rankings, it was not exactly a win that will get the Aggies any style points.
But, it was a win, and we’ll see where A&M stands when the new rankings come out on Tuesday night.
However, some fans think ESPN doesn’t want the Aggies in the Playoff. Comments made by analyst Dan Orlovsky and the broadcast crew drew the ire of Texas A&M supporters.
Here is some of the reaction to the broadcast crew:

Fans are convinced the announcers are rooting against their team. Film at 11.
