College Station, Texas – Texas A&M football has made a significant leap in the rankings, entering the top five in both the US LBM coaches poll and the AP Top 25 poll for the first time since September 2021. The Aggies are currently ranked No. 5 in both major polls, marking a notable milestone as it is the first time in over four years that the team has achieved such high national recognition.
The Aggies secured their top-five ranking after a convincing 31-9 victory against the Mississippi State Bulldogs in their latest matchup. Despite a slow start, scoring only seven points in the first half, Texas A&M dominated the second half, showcasing their strength and depth as a team. In addition to their win over Mississippi State, the Aggies previously defeated Auburn with a score of 16-10, a game where they held the Tigers to just 177 total yards and recorded five sacks.
This season has been a turnaround for Texas A&M, as they now sit at an impressive 5-0, a start they have not seen since 2016. The team’s strong performance is bolstered by key players, including dual-threat quarterback Marcel Reed, running back Le’Veon Moss, and transfer wide receivers Mario Craver and KJ Concepcion.
Texas A&M’s rise in the rankings is particularly remarkable given the competitive nature of their schedule. Notable victories earlier this season include wins against Notre Dame and Auburn, both of which have solidified their standing among the nation’s elite teams. The upcoming game against Mississippi State at Kyle Field on October 4, 2025, is highly anticipated, especially considering the challenge presented by the Aggies’ daunting home environment, widely recognized as one of the toughest venues for visiting teams.
Mississippi State, their upcoming opponent, has also shown signs of improvement this season, doubling their win total from the previous year and securing an upset victory over a previously ranked Arizona State team. This will surely make for an exciting matchup when the two teams face off again.
The game will be broadcasted nationally on the SEC Network starting at 7:30 p.m. ET.
