I think TAMU is a runaway choice for second biggest winner.
TAMU, Like Missouri was projected to have a middling year and be pushed around by other SEC teams. Missouri lived down to their projection.
TAMU, their 'New Coach Sumerlin, and a Freshman sensation QB overachieved the first part of the season, then a now seasoned 'Johnny Football' took the season on his back
and they had a phenomenal season.
Out of nowhere 'Johnny Football' outclassed other Heisman candidates and brought the Heisman to College Station.
To conclude their season TAMU pounded Oklahoma in their Bowl game.
TAMU STEPPED OUT OF THE SHADOW OF THE 'LONGHORNS' TO OWN THE STATE OF TEXAS...
(Big Story)
Lastly... TAMU beat us in Tuscaloosa. We played poorly, they played well.
Beating Alabama was something no one else accomplished.
