Ranking college football’s biggest underachievers of all time: Why Texas A&M is No. 1

1. Texas A&M

Why they belong: This isn’t recency bias. The Aggies rank no lower than 17th in our potential-related statistics but lack high-end results. Texas A&M has only six ranked finishes this century and last won its conference in 1998. The Aggies squandered one of the best recruiting classes ever under Fisher and, like Stanford, have connections to six Hall of Fame coaches (including Bear Bryant and Gene Stallings, who both won it all at Alabama). The Aggies, however, have only one national title in the modern era (1939).

Yeah, but: Texas A&M’s fertile recruiting footprint is also crowded because the Aggies have had to fight nearby powers like Texas and LSU. Even with its hiccups, Texas A&M is still a top-20 historical program, so the floor has been relatively high.

Final thought: On paper, Texas A&M should be at least the second-best program on our list (alongside Florida). Yet the Aggies have fewer ranked finishes than UCLA, a worse bowl record than Rice and a winning percentage (.605) in the same neighborhood as Arizona State and Utah. Barring a turnaround, A&M will go from preseason top 25 to unranked for the 18th time. But good news, Aggies: You finally made the top of one set of rankings.

Abbott should stop the destruction in Big Bend if he wants some positive press.

Schnall's well that ends well.

Who was the guy at SMU that would rip some arse?

Dave Bliss.Also was at Baylor later where he engaged in some bs.

Aren't all of these Middle East actions just proxy wars on behalf of Israel?
Think what we could do with all the money we've sent Israel directly, indirectly and the wars we've fought on their behalf.

There's a book called "a payroll to meet" that covers that era at SMU.

I'm pulling for OM the rest of the way. I like seeing new teams win and I enjoy the schadenfreude of it. Hope I'm wrong but I see Miami winning.

The Midwest is not enlightened by any means. It is a cesspool of the US that the majority of the states in that region people continue to leave and move to the south.

The above is 100% accurate. I think I read that 1 in 3 native born Ohioans don't live in the state. In their defense, I wouldn't want to live in the Rust Belt either.
