At one point in October, the Aggies looked like an above-average SEC West team. They had a solid defense, an effective quarterback, and a productive rushing game. And they were unbeaten after playing UCLA, Auburn, Arkansas and Tennessee. Then they took on Alabama and ended up losing the four SEC games remaining on the schedule.
When you crater in October, you can't have nice things. That's why A&M is headed to the afterthought Texas Bowl to play Kansas State. Games with K-State were fairly common when A&M was a member of the BDF, with ten contests split 5-5. The memorable Aggie win was in the 1998 championship game, but KSU got even by whipping A&M in three consecutive games before A&M left for the SEC.
I haven't seen anything in A&M's performance since October that makes me think they're capable of winning a bowl game, and losing to KSU again will make 2016 an even more depressing cluster fuck than it already is.
