College Station, Texas – Texas A&M University’s football team has made headlines this week by climbing to the No. 3 spot in the Associated Press (AP) national rankings following an impressive 7-0 start to the season. This marks the highest ranking for the Aggies since 1995, when they also began the season at No. 3.
The Aggies, who started the season ranked at No. 19, have experienced a meteoric rise in the rankings, driven by seven consecutive victories. Their current record positions them behind only No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana in the national standings. As the sole undefeated team in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), Texas A&M stands out nationally, being one of just six teams without a loss.
Texas A&M’s winning streak consists of notable victories over several high-profile teams, including Florida, Mississippi State, Auburn, Notre Dame, Utah State, and UTSA. Most recently, the Aggies secured a narrow 45-42 win against Arkansas, where they faced challenges but ultimately managed to protect their perfect record.
The Aggies are currently the strongest team in Texas, surpassing other Texas schools that began the season with higher expectations. The previously ranked No. 1, Texas, has since fallen to No. 22, while Texas Tech dropped from No. 7 to No. 14 after losing to Arizona State last week.
As Texas A&M prepares for their next matchup against No. 20 LSU on Saturday at 6:30 p.m., they face unique challenges. The Aggies have struggled in past outings at Death Valley, where they have not found victory since joining the SEC. The current ESPN Matchup predictor offers Texas A&M a 51.9% chance of winning, with the team being 2.5-point favorites against LSU, who is under pressure after suffering a loss to Vanderbilt.
The Aggies’ performance this season, especially their ability to overcome adversity from high-scoring games, such as the recent contest against Arkansas, showcases their resilience under the leadership of Coach Mike Elko. This is Texas A&M’s first 7-0 start since 1994, indicating a strong potential for continued success as the season progresses.
