All that’s left in the regular season for Texas A&M football is the renewing of a rivalry with all of their College Football Playoff hopes hanging in the balance. With one game left, the Aggies welcome the Longhorns for the first time since 2011.
Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2 SEC) dropped in the latest CFP polls to 20 and did the same in the US LBM Coaches Poll down to 19. The Aggies’ next opponent has been one of the top teams in the country, and like A&M, are playing for a right to join the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game. Texas is 10-1 overall and is first in the SEC at 6-1.
Will A&M take care of business in the program’s biggest game yet? Do they have what it takes to keep their playoff hopes alive under first-year head coach Mike Elko? How will the Aggies fare against their biggest rival in the most highly anticipated game of the season?
