Texas A&M has done everything it could this season to give the committee exactly what it wants. The Aggies have gone undefeated thus far, and any ranked opponent they have faced, they have taken down. They have also made sure to win their games by a solid margin, something not every team has done.
Last week, Indiana had to resort to a game-winning drive to beat a 3-5 Penn State team in order to stay undefeated. Texas A&M took care of a ranked Missouri team playing with its third-string true freshman quarterback, and they did so handily.
None of it seemed to matter, though, as the Aggies still came in behind the Hoosiers at No.
