Probably due to a combination of SEC and Johnny Football.

Jeez, A&M's highest rated game of the season almost tripled the ratings for TU's.

 

[TXA&M07]

Kid outta Kerville has a lot to do with that.

 

[SEC-GoalTenda]

Had they stayed in the big 12 last year, they would have likely gone undefeated and played Bama for the national title. So there's that to consider as well.

 

[LSU-SIU]

I am curious as to how TAM does next year without Johnny. I actually don't feel like the O was hard to stop once you figure out you don't have to sack Johnny to win.
