(1) It's virtually a lock that Aggy is going to lose to the Whorns the week after and will therefore not qualify for a bowl by losing to BU. This also means the Big 12 could be denied the additional bowl bid A&M's appearance would represent (as an aside by a large state school that will travel a lot of fans to a bowl) because we would still have to beat TTech to take Aggy's place with the bid - at best a very risky proposition for the league.
(2) It's at Kyle and will be played before 70K+ screaming Aggys (even deducting the BU fans that will be there). The best we've ever gotten in a game there is a fairly called game (i.e. can anyone ever remember BU getting a "job" at Kyle? For that matter, can anyone site an example of Aggy getting "jobbed" against us anywhere?). On the other hand, there have been multiple cases of us getting screwed in games there in the past, as well as in Waco.
(3) BU's games against OU and the Whorns definitely show the Big 12 refs have absolutely no qualms about screwing us over against the "big schools". Obviously Aggy's current status is way below those two, but based on (1) above I have no reason to feel the refs will have any reluctance to do the same thing again.
Hopefully this won't come to fruition, but I'm just saying don't be surprised if it does.
