Texas A&M had to ‘kick a door down’ to make the CFP. Now, Aggies face difficult title path.
Texas A&M earned the No. 7 seed and home quarterfinal at Kyle Field after an 11-1 season, facing Miami and potentially Georgia to advance toward the championship.
- On Sunday, the Texas A&M Aggies clinched their first College Football Playoff berth with an 11-1 record and a home quarterfinal at Kyle Field as the seventh seed in the 12-team bracket.
- A&M’s early-season statement wins included a Sept. 13 Notre Dame Stadium road victory, their first ranked road win in over a decade, and an Oct. 25 LSU win at Tiger Stadium after 30 years.
- The bracket pairs Texas A&M with the 10th-seeded Miami Hurricanes , while Ohio State Buckeyes, Georgia Bulldogs and Miami all appear as early-round opponents.
- A&M faces immediate stakes because the Aggies will need to beat two top teams to reach the national championship game, and the quarterfinal victor may face third-seeded Georgia in the Fiesta Bowl.
- The committee’s last-second swap of Notre Dame and Miami cost Texas A&M a rematch with the Irish, a point critics highlighted after Sunday’s bracket reveal.
