“A&M has a different feel to it than any other school in the SEC – for that matter, than any other school in the country,” Finebaum said. “I can’t think of another place where the students take more pride in their college than A&M.

“I’m intrigued by Texas A&M. I see greatness-to-be. For so many years A&M was the stepchild to Texas, much like Auburn has been to Alabama. But I don’t see that anymore. The shroud has been lifted and A&M is out of the Big 12, and out of Texas’s burnt orange shadow. I think the Aggies will be a force in the SEC and college football for a very long time.

“First of all, A&M has a formidable fan base. When those people unite behind something or someone, watch out. They can move the needle. Or let me put it this way: of all the programs in the SEC, I think A&M poses the greatest long-term threat to Alabama’s dominance. Greater than Auburn, than LSU, than Florida.”
