Texas A&M upsets No. 5 LSU 38-23, ruining Tigers' CFP chances

LSU’s College Football Playoff hopes vanished on Saturday night thanks to Texas A&M.

The Tigers wrapped up the SEC West a few weeks ago and were ranked No. 5 in the latest CFP rankings despite having two losses. It seemed like LSU had a viable path to the playoff with an upset over No. 1 Georgia in next week’s SEC title game.

A loss to Texas A&M was not part of that path, but that’s just what happened.

Texas A&M had lost six consecutive SEC games but managed to upset the Tigers 38-23 at Kyle Field.
