1. OU was not very good, after Texas did its typical early and late years mack brown embarrassment in Dallas, OU lost to ND, barely beat a shitty WV team, 50-49, and needed overtime to beat okie st at home 51-48 (notice high scoring games).
2. SEC was not ready for big 12 offenses. It is no coincidence that Aggy and Missouri's best years were those first years.
3. Aggy barely beat both La tech (in a high scoring game) and Old miss by 3. The same Old miss team that got boat raced by Texas and pre-concussion David ash by 35 just a couple of weeks earlier 66-31.
4. Aggy has never (at least since electricity was invented) succeeded at doing what they need to do. In the height of their Fed Ex years, they couldn't even close the deal on a perfect season. Why? because they tied a 1-9-1 SMU team. No one saw it of course, because they were banned from TV and bowls.
4a. To further illustrate their lack of being able to get the job done, just look 12 months earlier when Texas Herped / Derped our way to a win @ College Station in perhaps the most important game (to the aggy's) they had had in 50 years..
5. Who would have beaten them? Kansas St went 11-2, Texas went 9-4, Ok state and baylor went 8-5. Someone would have jumped up at got them.
I'm not saying 2012 aggy wasn't a good football team. They clearly were. I'll even grant they may have had a chance to win the big 12. But it is revisionist history to say they would have rolled through the Big 12. Its nonsense. Aggy gonna aggy and they would have fucked it up.
