If we lose to A&M for a third time, I am not confident we will get in.
If TAMU beats LSU a third time and the selection committee is valuing TAMU vs. LSU, the only thing on TAMU's resume is that they can beat LSU. They have literally beaten no one else of consequence.
The SEC is still getting 5 teams minimum. The only thing TAMU can do at this point is become the 6th SEC team in the NCAAT.

The committee doesn't look at how many teams are or aren't getting in from particular conference. Nor do they simply compare conf. opponents to one another. Just because A&M gets in doesn't mean LSU can't and vice-versa.
I agree with you about A&M. LSU really isn't a helpful matchup for them. Beating LSU for a 3rd time doesn't add anything to the resume. Likewise, for LSU, losing to A&M shouldn't hurt their resume. It's easy for the committee to justify the 3 losses to A&M as just a bad matchup for LSU
A&M desperately needs a win over a "good" team other than LSU. IMO, a potential LSU/A&M round 3 creates much more of an opportunity for LSU than it does for A&M
