National perception is built over many decades of history, if A&M wins 10 games a year every year through 2040 and Texas quits football tomorrow, well, then A&M will be close but still behind in wins. It's 21 top 5 finishes vs 4. It's a massive chasm. And A&M winning 9 games next year and Texas only winning 8 won't change that perception for anyone outside of College Station.
