Texas A&M becomes first team of 2025 to achieve impressive feat

The Texas A&M Aggies are the only remaining unbeaten team in the SEC and are the consensus No. 3 team in the country behind Ohio State and Indiana.
But unlike the Buckeyes and Hoosiers, the Aggies have done something in 2025 that no other team in college football can claim: Win 3 games against AP-ranked teams on the road.
The Aggies achieved that mark in Week 11 by going to Columbia and downing No. 22 Missouri 38-17. That victory, coupled with the 49-25 demolition of then-No. 20 LSU in Baton Rouge on Oct. 25 and the 41-40 escape against then-No. 8 Notre Dame in South Bend on Sept. 13, puts Texas A&M in prime position for a first-round College Football Playoff bye.
No. 1 Ohio State’s lone road victory against a Top 25 team came Oct. 11 in Champaign against No. 17 Illinois. No. 2 Indiana’s lone road victory against a ranked squad was also Oct. 11 at No. 3 Oregon.
Texas A&M can add to that lofty mark Nov. 28 against No. 11 Texas in the season finale. The Aggies play host to South Carolina in Week 12 (Noon ET, ESPN) and face Samford on Nov. 22 before the matchup against the Longhorns.
