The talent brought into the program via the transfer portal, along with those who chose to remain in Bryan-College Station, Texas, has significantly enhanced Texas A&M football’s chances of reaching the College Football Playoff this season.
According to college football analyst Kelley Ford, the Aggies have a real shot at receiving an at-large bid in the CFP if Mike Elko and company control their destiny. Ford’s analytics have Texas A&M with a 60% chance or more to win nine games this season, with the lowest projected chance to win being 16% on the road against the Texas Longhorns.
Here is the full breakdown of rankings, percentages, and where Elko’s squad ranks heading into this year’s campaign:
While the Aggies’ chances of winning nine games are high, the win-loss projections still have the program finishing 8-4 this season, which would be a massive disappointment for most in Elko’s second year at the helm, considering the team has some of the top talent in the Southeastern Conference on its roster.
Ford recently made a guest appearance on “That SEC Podcast” to discuss his rankings and projections for each SEC team in 2025. In talks about Texas A&M with host Michael Bratton, also known as SEC Mike, Ford made a bold statement for the Aggies’ chances of breaking more than eight wins for the first time since 2020.
Texas A&M’s road to the CFP has more than its fair share of roadblocks along the way, as competing in the SEC is a competitive and challenging endeavor. It helps the Aggies’ odds having a talented dual-threat sophomore quarterback under center in Marcel Reed and a promising wide receiving corps that features NC State transfer KC Concepcion.
As the models continue to trend upward for the program, time will tell if Elko can lead his team to historic heights in just his second year in College Station.
