Repeating what I wrote on Monday (because apparently it's necessary), SEC's early reservation about A&M playing in the Texas Bowl (against Texas or any opponent) was the Aggies playing consecutive games in NRG Stadium. They open their 2015 season on Sept. 5 against Arizona State in NRG. Since it's different seasons it seems a little bit of a reach to me (and everyone knows Aggies would pack both games in Houston, where most former students are), but that was explanation from multiple sources I visited with on Sunday.
Here is the Monday story: http://blog.chron.com/sportsupdate/2014/11/ut-am-matchup-would-be-quite-the-holiday-treat-for-advocare-v100-texas-bowl/
