College Football Playoff: Texas A&M projections, Week 10 games Aggies fans should watch

Texas A&M football catapulted itself to 11th in the US LBM Coaches Poll and 10th in the AP Poll with a statement win over LSU last Saturday. Soon enough, though, they’ll get a real idea of where they sit in the College Football Playoff race.

The CFP selection committee will release its first round of rankings Nov. 5. That list will determine to select the 12-team field at the end of the season.

The Aggies are atop of the Southeastern Conference with a chance to earn a first-round bye — as long as they win the SEC Championship Game. Texas A&M is currently undefeated in league play with four one-loss conference teams chasing them. The Aggies currently don’t have a top 25 matchup left on their schedule until they face Texas at the end of the season.

Here’s a look at the latest projections for Texas A&M:
