So aggy is about where our state’s SEC team should be.

acres,

See if you can get those people to rank football teams this fall. With their methods, we have a shot at Top Ten, maybe even Top Five. What a bunch of self serving crap. Texas Wesleyan, Northwood, and Letourneau? Aren't their entrance requirement the check clears the bank while your still breathing?

This looks like a statistical analysis that piece of **** Al Napier would have put on a Stat 310 exam.

Interesting, UT is not in top 100 list for national rankings while Rice is, at 22.
I would suggest this listing has little practical value though because, as I have stated before, my granddaughter, whose lifelong goal was to attend UT, could not get in but was accepted at four of those listed in national top 100 - Wake, Boston, Duke, and Johns Hopkins (where she is now a Jr).

19. Texas A&M University College Station, TX

Yep!! But, don't have words to respond to this, because I'm laughing to hard at them! Even their satellite college in Texarkana is harder to get into!

My son went to a baseball camp at Stanford back in July. His teamates got to talking about colleges and made the comment that UT was impossible for an out of state resident to get accepted to. My son then made a comment about A&M and his teamates asked what school that was. They literally had never heard of the A&M and my son thought that was pretty funny.

After Texas Wesleyan added the law school, enrollment jumped because of the idea that if you went to TW, you could gain admittance to the law school easier, which isn't true, but requirements for admittance went got harder. Now that it was purchased by aggy, the aps for enrollment to aggyville don't seem to have gone up due to having a law school.
