Right now UT is winning it by a close 6 to 5 margin. After blowouts the last two years by UT this could be the Aggies year to win it by a narrow margin. Of course this has been a strange year because I never would have thought that UT would lose the football or the Women's Indoor Track and Field (after being NCs last year) or even the Women's Swimming and Diving Competition where UT has been a power in the past. But also there were surprises in that UT won the Women's Soccer point while the basketball teams did the job for UT spliting with the Aggies.
Right now on my prediction I think the Aggies will win it this year by a 10 to 9 score for their first win. Bear in mind there are still 8 points left and some of the teams are so even that one win by one or the other could tilt the cart.
We have the following sports and points (8) left and my analysis.
Softball - I gave the Lady Aggies the point but bear in mind each game is worth 1/2 a point and the way the Lady Horns are playing they could do the job get a split which will change things.
Men's Tennis - I give UT the edge here but the match for the point is at College Station and the Aggies are capable of getting it.
Women's Tennis - it is close but I give the edge to the Lady Aggies. But remember they don't have the home court edge like they had last year and that could make a different.
Men and Women's Golf - I give both points to the Aggies but UT could challenge for the men's golf point. Both are ranked in the top 20.
Men and Women's Outdoor Track and Field - I have a split here with UT getting the Men's Point and A&M getting the Women's point.
Baseball - both teams are playing well but I give the edge to UT to get the point by winning two out of three in the matchup for the point.
Based on my analysis the Aggies will win it by a 10 to 9 margin - as close as it gets. But you never know what will happen and things can change.
Remember if they tie at 9 1/2 each UT wins the title since they won it last year which is the tie breaker much to my chagrin. I emailed them saying that the football game winner should get an extra 1/4 point to break the tie but of course they didn't respond.
The next point availabe is later this month when the two softball teams meet in Austin later this month for 1/2 point. This game could be very important as for as the competition goes.
We will see. Exciting times coming indeed.
