    Awesome performance by JFF and the Aggies. It was everything you expected from the Heisman winner, he threw for 287 and RAN for 229...only Marcus Tuiosiopo of Washington ever threw for 300 and ran for 200.

    But what was even more impressive was the A&M defense, I didn't think Sumlin would have a good defense, he never did at Houston.

    I think A&M will end up in the top 5 and if ND wins they might jump over Alabama and Oregon and end up #2. If Alabama wins, they might jump over Oregon and ND and end up #2.

    I think they could beat Oregon they way they played down the stretch of the season and in the Bowl. I have them as favorites over Stanford as well.

    Preseason top 5 next year as well.

    They definitely should feel confident against anyone.

    They sort of remind me of the USC squad that hosed a pretty good Iowa squad in the Orange Bowl Carson Palmers Sr. year ...they were a 2 loss team as well in the regular season but finished the year very strong and had all he pieces in place for a good run.

    I agree with Terry. Texas A&M is finishing the year as the hottest team. They're a match for anybody right now...

    :D

    Scott, great and convincing win over the Sooners. I imagine you will be sleepwalking for the next few days. Has to be a great feeling! Right?

    Incredibly smart addition to the conference..... great win!

    1st year and already the 2nd highest PPG season in the history of the SEC.

    Love that fan base.....great support for the Heisman winner who is a joy to watch for any college football fan.

    I'm thinking that Fox Sports has to be kicking themselves for putting her in charge of the studio crew. I'm as gaga over her as Terry, but constant exposure to her voice drives me nuts to the point that I won't watch the studio portion of the broadcast. Am I the only one who feels this way?

    Sid, I'm with you.

    She's somewhat knowledgeable now, but still that voice just grates.
    And the two with her ramble a bit too much as well.

    I guess we could mute it!
    :D

    I'm fairly certain Fox is quite comfortable in knowing they are using Erin in any role... Why Der Network has Holly Rowe doing her best Veruca Salt on the sidelines..
