Was Texas A&M a Playoff worthy team? Social media reacts to Aggies’ first half performance in Orange Bowl against North Carolina

Since the College Football Playoff selection committee unveiled its first rankings of the 2020 season, Texas A&M fans – and some media members – have been vocal in arguing that Aggies deserved a Top 4 ranking.
Ahead of the final rankings, Jimbo Fisher and others lobbied for Texas A&M to get a spot in the College Football Playoff. The committee ultimately opted to give the non-Alabama spots to Clemson, Ohio State and Notre Dame and many Aggies fans and players cried foul.
The Aggies instead landed in the Orange Bowl against three-loss North Carolina. Fisher’s squad has its hands full with the No. 13 Tar Heels, leading many on social media to question the Aggies’ complaints of a Playoff snub as A&M leads 17-13 at the break.
Remember when people tried to argue that Texas A&M should get in the playoff over Ohio State? Those were fun times.

Most Texas A&M fans thought they deserved to be in the playoff. If They lose to the Tar heels! Won’t be a good look.?
