Texas A&M is currently No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings. However, a rival SEC head coach believes the Aggies should be at the top.
During his Monday press conference, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin made a public plea for Texas A&M to be the No. 1 team in the nation.
“Texas A&M being No. 3, what more do you want them to do to be 1?…” Kiffin said. “They went up to Notre Dame and won…What good did that do if that’s not rewarded? They have the highest metrics of everybody and not No. 1.”
Texas A&M is particularly dangerous offensively. The Aggies are 12th in points per game (37.8) and 19th nationally in rushing yards (204.9).
Texas A&M is coming off an impressive 38-17 victory at No. 22 Missouri. The Aggies have won 3 games against ranked opponents this season. Texas A&M also defeated then-No. 8 Notre Dame 41-40 and then-No. 20 LSU 49-25 each on the road. Texas A&M will get another ranked matchup in the regular season finale at No. 11 Texas on Nov. 28.
Next up for Texas A&M is a home contest vs. South Carolina on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN.
