It's certainly a factor, but I interact with far more ag fans than sooner fans on a daily basis, and I still consider OU to be the bigger rival.
I would guess that is mostly due to recent and longterm competitiveness. 

From a quick look at Stassen, Texas' most frequent opponents are those two and:
  • Texas has a 59-50-5 edge over OU in 114 games
  • Texas has a 69-37-5 edge over aTm in 111 games.

Yeah, but A&M fans are noted for being a kind and rational and level headed fan base

Ha!

That's true, but I think that's more like an effect, than the cause.  The truth is that OU has historically been a much better team than A&M, and that certainly manifests in Texas' record against each, but more importantly, the importance of games against OU has typically been a lot higher, than games against A&M.  There are quite a few games in the history of TX-OU where one or both teams have been highly ranked, and that's not true of the series with Texas A&M.

It's not unlike Michigan's border war/arch-rivalry with Ohio State, compared to their in-state rivalry with the Spartans.

I agree that OU is a bigger rival to UT but aggie is a strong 2nd

It means something to mention the other school in the fight song

It ruins my whole day when UT loses to either one

I liked it back in the 80s and 90s when UNL's rivals were any team from the state of Florida

There are certainly some Longhorns that view A&M as the bigger rival. Back before A&M went to the SEC, every Longhorn message board fan poll about who was bigger, turned up about 75% for OU, and 25% for A&M.  

Now, not having played in over a decade, I'd assume those numbers would have shifted even more toward OU.  But since we aren't currently playing A&M, nobody's bothered to post that poll in many, many years.

Yep, but the wonks in Chicago thought UNL was gonna be the best in the West, which is why they drew OSU.

If for no other reason than it's the red team vs the blue team.
