In somewhat of a shocking move, the College Football Playoff selection committed tabbed Texas A&M at No. 4 in its initial rankings released Tuesday.
The Aggies haven’t looked like it today.
Five-loss Mississippi State is currently beating Texas A&M 28-7, a pounding few expected. The Bulldogs have already racked up 341 yards with about four minutes before halftime, and quarterback Nick Fitzgerald has compiled 263 total yards and three total touchdowns.
Many were already outraged with the Aggies being ranked ahead of undefeated Washington, and this shocker in Starkville has given them a good excuse to pile it on Texas A&M.
So far, the #Aggies are doing nothing to silence their critics… #TAMUvsMSST

Let's be real, the only people in America who thought Texas A&M was the No. 4 team in the country were the Playoff Committee & #Aggies fans

Welp. To this point #Aggies don't look like a ranked team, much less #4.

How poorly coached you need to be to come out and get curb stomped when you started the week at number 4 and in the playoff? #aggies #gigem

Finally this #Aggies team is playing exactly how the media thought they would this season. #TAMUvsMSU

Mississippi State looks like the #4 team in the country right now. This is awfully ugly. #Aggies

You're losing 28-7 to a 5 loss team… the #Aggies could've saved time and called the #CFBPlayoff committee and said they didn't belong.

Complete and total garbage effort from the A&M today. Way to take a steaming dump all over that #4 ranking. #Aggies
