4. Texas A&M Aggies

Home of the 12th Man, Kyle Field is one of the most energetic stadiums in college football. The Texas A&M Aggies have been a welcomed addition to the SEC. This has given the Aggies a bit of an edge on arch-rival Texas in recruiting. Gig ‘Em Nation can keep Texans in-state while giving them the opportunity play in the SEC.

Texas A&M has a strong unified fanbase. They hold Yell Practice at midnight every Thursday night before a game. Texas A&M is about as loud as any fanbase can be in college football. This makes Kyle Field a distinct home-field advantage for the Aggies.

With over 100,000 in attendance every fall Saturday, rural College Station becomes one of the premier places to watch college football. Texas A&M hasn’t won a National Championship in decades, but the Aggie faithful still are immensely proud of their favorite football team.

Texas A&M may forever play the little brother to in-state rival Texas in landing the best football talent, but the Aggies’ committed fanbase is second to no one in the Lone Star State. The Aggies may not have the vast reach nationally as other Power 5 programs, but there isn’t a fanbase as unified as Gig ‘Em Nation.
