Ranking SEC teams with best College Football Playoff chances
2. Texas A&M Aggies
Texas A&M could justifiably be at the top of this list as the lone undefeated in SEC play and as winners of its last seven games. How the Aggies play as frontrunners with conference title and playoff expectations will be an intriguing storyline down the stretch, but Mike Elko’s squad has proven capable of excelling no matter what it has faced. The Aggies lost their opener to Notre Dame but have picked up big wins over Arkansas, Missouri and LSU.Â
The LSU win stands out, and Texas A&M could pick up two more significant victories against South Carolina and Texas down the stretch, with matchups against New Mexico State and Auburn also remaining. How Elko juggles freshman spark plug Marcel Reed and veteran Conner Weigman at quarterback could play a role in the Aggies’ playoff hopes, but they will have every opportunity to get there.
