For the past few years, the flair for the dramatic that Johnny Football, Kenny Trill and the rest of the Texas A&M Aggies possess have made them one of the most popular college football teams.

But Saturday's loss to Ole Miss proved one inevitable fact that fans in College Station don't want to admitthis team isn't built to be a legitimate contender for an SEC title.

This year, Kenny Hill was the darling of college footballanother young quarterback taking the wild and unpredictable college football landscape by storm.

Before Hill was the flashier, far more controversial Johnny Manziel. A Heisman winner as a freshman, the guy that flashed money signs anytime the ball bounced his way defined the new world order of Saturdays.

But he didn't leave Texas A&Msomething he once tweeted that he couldn't wait to doas an SEC champion. Nor did the Aggiesgunslinger ever take the 12th Man to the promised land of a BCS bowl.

This season, Hill, the heir to Manziel's throne, had the Aggies looking like early season playoff contenders after a Week 1 throttling of South Carolina. Plenty of analysts were pegging Hill as the Heisman favorite, and to his own credit, he had earned that distinction.

However, the same bug that always seems to bite Kevin Sumlin teams bit hard over the last two weeks.

After winning their first four games by an average of 43.5 points, the Aggies were pushed to the limit two weeks ago against Arkansas, winning 35-28 in overtime.

Then, the state of Mississippi proved over the last two weeks that they are the kings of college football in 2014, not Texas or Alabama. The only constant between both Ole Miss and Mississippi State these past two weeks?

Wins over the Aggies.
