Is Texas A&M underrated?
Are the Texas A&M Aggies underrated by the national media, College Football Playoff committee? Mike Elko's squad doesn't care.
Texas A&M landed outside the projected 12-team College Football Playoff in the Tuesday night release, checking in at 15th. The Aggies are 8-2 on the season and tied with Texas atop the SEC standings with 5-1 records in conference play. They travel to Auburn in Week 13 and host the Longhorns to cap the regular season on Nov. 30.
Behind the two rivals is a four-team logjam between programs holding two losses apiece in SEC play – Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Ole Miss. Those four teams have something else in common beyond their conference records – they’re all ranked above Texas A&M by the CFP committee and the Associated Press.
