The Texas A&M Aggies remain in strong position for the playoff picture heading into their regular-season finale against Texas. On3's Andy Staples ranks them No. 3 in its projected seeding.
Coach Mike Elko and his team understand the stakes of facing an upset Longhorns team. Especially with Arch Manning coming off a six-touchdown performance. While a loss may not eliminate them, it will impact seeding and perception.
The Aggies must show resilience, especially with psychological momentum at stake in the rivalry game. This isn't a Texas team who has played to their record at all and did have a one-score loss to Ohio State.
A high-profile win would skyrocket their resume and put pressure on other contenders. For Texas A&M to thrive, they’ll need their offense to sustain drives and the defense to win key battlefronts. This is more than a final game, but a chance to move up if Ohio State gets beat by Indiana in the Big Ten championship.
