Texas A&M Aggies Beaming With Confidence: 'We're Everybody's Super Bowl'

"We're everybody's Super Bowl," Washington said. "We know everybody gonna throw their best first punch against us. But you know, just us being steady. We have a great leader of men, and our head coach, coach Buzz (Williams). He always leads us the right way every time, and just has us get to our foundation and who we are."

Washington's comment came just two days after the big game, and he certainly has a point. Ranked No. 13 in the preseason AP Poll, teams have likely had Texas A&M circled on the calendar all season long but it hasn't had much of an impact on the Aggies. They're inching closer to being in contention for a potential No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament thanks to an elite non-conference resume and an 8-3 SEC record headed into Valentine's Day.

There's no doubt that the Aggies have become one of the SEC's elite teams and will continue to be one of the biggest games for each of their remaining opponents in the regular season. Texas A&M hosts Arkansas on Saturday.
