Texas A&M football: Loss to Auburn makes path that much harder

COLLEGE STATION -- Before the season, Texas A&M fans had four games circled on the calendar: at No. 1 Clemson, vs. No. 2 Alabama, at No. 3 Georgia, at No. 4 LSU. 

All the talk during the offseason was about those four games. It was the hardest schedule in America heading into the year. No one really thought about Auburn messing around becoming one of the top 10 teams in America.
