The Texas A&M Aggies will be hoping for a berth in the College Football Playoff after a 34-13 victory at Tennessee on Saturday.

Currently, A&M is No. 5 in the CFP rankings, but No. 4 Ohio State is struggling against Northwestern and No. 2 Notre Dame and No. 3 Clemson are facing off this afternoon.

After the game, A&M coach Jimbo Fisher was asked about the Aggies’ Playoff case. As you can see below, he got fired up giving his answer:

“You want me to tell you why? Because we play in the best league in ball. We lost to the No. 1 team in the country who also had another superstar on the team when they played us named Waddle. They aren’t even playing with him now. No team in SEC history has ever lost 1 game and not been in it. The other leagues, I love ’em all, but if we can’t play in this league and be in the Playoff, something’s wrong.

“The people on the committee will do their jobs, but this team is very deserving. I can tell you that.”

We’ll find out tomorrow if the Aggies crack the top 4. For now, though, they certainly have a strong case to be included with the top teams in the nation.
