Holy shocker! Aggies in at No. 4 in initial playoff rankings. A&M – you have to think – controls its own destiny to the playoff. Wow.

I mean, I like Texas a&m but them in front of Washington, who's undefeated, in the PAC 12, is an absolute joke.

"How can we get people to talk about this more tonight?"
"Flop Washington and Texas A&M"
"YES!"— Joe McCann (@JoeMcCann3) November 1, 2016
Also, #Washington just got SCREWED!!! Texas A&M does NOT belong to be ahead of them. Shameful. Absolutely shameful. SEC bias is INSANE!

Most SEC bias thing I've seen all year. I'm heated that Louisville is 7th but the fact Texas A&M is ahead of Washington and Ohio state…BS
