I concur, certainly, but I think that separates a 12-1 very talented team from a 10-3 very talented team, in effect. I can't get to 5-7 with a team with decent talent levels, and A&M has more than decent talent. A 12 game slate USUALLY has 4 complete pastries, Kent State, Samford, Vandy, and Tennessee for example. You start with four Ws, then compete for four more with teams you should beat easily, and then maybe four opponents are threats.
