Jimbo Fisher shares how he and Texas A&M players reacted to missing College Football Playoff
Jimbo Fisher’s Texas A&M squad is disappointed to be missing out on the College Football Playoff. After finishing an 8-1 season with a 34-13 win over Tennessee, the Aggies remained No. 5 in the final CFP rankings.
Fisher appeared on ESPN sharing his reaction to being left out.
“Well, we were disappointed that we weren’t in the top four but we understand this is all subjective and it’s your opinion on things and they had a process they went through,” Fisher told Kris Budden. “It is what it is and we’re getting ready to play a great Orange Bowl game and hopefully a very good team in North Carolina.”
Fisher elaborated more when asked about his players’ reaction.
“They’re disappointed,” Fisher said. “I mean, listen, you play your whole career, your whole life to have an opportunity like that. And we came up just a hair short but that just shows you we’ve got to do a little more work and get ready for the future. We’re branding this program in a very good way, we’re building this program in a very good way, the culture is becoming very good, we just gotta keep going forward.”
The Orange Bowl is set for Jan. 2 at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on ESPN.
