Texas A&M football fans were not exactly thrilled that the CFP committee placed the Aggies down at third in the nation in the initial rankings, released tonight, as it felt like a bit of a rug-pull after the promises of the offseason. Things didn't get a whole lot better when they came on to defend their rankings, either: Baylor AD Mack Rhoades made very little sense when discussing the Aggies' ranking relative to Indiana and Ohio State.
What it basically boiled down to, though, was that he and others in the room didn't believe in the Aggies as an elite defense.
