Been here, blown that

"Watch for a three-team race in the Big 12 South."
That according to CBSSportsline.com college football columnist Dennis Dodd, who believes Texas A&M will challenge the Sooners and Longhorns next fall.
Me? I'll watch for an Aggie flame-out.
Blame a chunk of my bad faith on A&M's schedule. From October on, the Ags have one -- one! -- guaranteed win. That thanks to a home date with Kansas.
Otherwise, OSU and Texas come to Kyle Field, while the Ags head to Texas Tech, Nebraska, OU (Nov. 3) and Missouri.
And here where I gulp down another dose of skepticism -- does anyone really trust Dennis Franchione to keep his team together over such a wicked two-month stretch?
He has last year's 2006 win at Texas in his sails. And Stephen McGee, Mike Goodson, Jorvorskie Lane and Martellus Bennett in his attack.
But Fran can't be trusted. Remember what his team did for an encore after that 12-7 "breakthrough" at Texas? It went to the Holiday Bowl and got fed to the (Cal) Bears, 45-10.
Hype the Wrecking Crew at your own (grave) risk.
