SEC opponents may not agree on a lot, but one thing they can agree on is that Kyle Field is one of the best college football environments.

ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit once called Texas A&M the best college football environment several years ago when the College GameDay crew visited Kyle Field. The intensity feels real, and teams hate to come here.

Even when the Aggies have played smaller schools, the 100K crowd still shows up. To put it simply, Texas A&M fans love their team, and the average home attendance numbers proved it.

For A&M fans, this isn't anything new. They've been one of the best venues in college football for a long time.

Mike Elko has energized this football base into a group of football knowers. With Elko getting the best transfers and recruits, the Aggies could end up among the blue bloods of college football. Of course, the Aggies need to continue to be a playoff team, but that seems like a given with the talent the Aggies have.

Five SEC schools are averaging over 100,000 fans at home. The SEC always prides itself on meaning more. The Big Ten conference might have something to say about that, but the SEC fanbase is real. It also helps that Kyle Field is the fourth-largest stadium in the U.S.

The 12th Man always comes through. When opponents are inside their own 10-yard line, the 12th Man impacts the game, and everybody knows it.
