Aggies Tumble in Rankings: Can They Host First Round?
3 Dec
Summary
- Texas A&M dropped from No. 3 to No. 7 in CFP rankings.
- Ranking drop occurred after a loss to rival Texas.
- Aggies could fall to No. 9 or 10 with specific upset outcomes.
Texas A&M experienced a notable drop in the College Football Playoff rankings, moving from the No. 3 spot to No. 7. This change follows their recent loss to rival Texas, despite the defeat not eliminating them from playoff contention. The committee's assessment appears to place them below teams with comparable or weaker schedules and records.
This revised ranking raises questions about whether the Aggies will secure a home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs at Kyle Field. Such a scenario hinges on specific results in upcoming championship games. For Texas A&M to fall to the No. 9 or 10 seed, Texas Tech would need to lose their conference championship, and Alabama would need to defeat Georgia.
While the author does not anticipate BYU defeating Texas Tech, an Alabama upset over Georgia is seen as a plausible outcome. The Aggies, under Coach Mike Elko, are expected to be eager to rebound from their recent loss and demonstrate their true capabilities, regardless of their seeding.
