Texas A&M's huge win over the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge moves the Aggies to 8-0 this week, their best record since the 1992 season under RC Slocum. Not only that, but it breaks a 30-year drought where they had not won down on the Bayou in an emphatic fashion, showing that this truly is a team that is a contender for the national title.
That said, though, when you rise all the way to no. 3 in the nation, it can be hard to shake other teams off their spot ahead of you.
