Projected seed: 9

Texas A&M's resume pairs meaningful wins away from College Station and a neutral-site statement with ugly setbacks, and that mix explains its placement on the bubble. Road wins at Auburn, Texas and Georgia and the neutral victory over Florida State show the team can win outside its gym, but damaging results at Oklahoma State and at home against Florida and additional conference losses at Alabama and Vanderbilt reveal a troubling inconsistency against the league's better teams. Much of the schedule consists of low-end opponents whose victories pad the ledger without earning much credit, so the committee will balance those easy wins against the severity of the bad losses. Remaining road tests at Mississippi, Oklahoma and Arkansas plus home chances against Texas and Kentucky and a trip to LSU give the Aggies clear ways to solidify their resume or to further complicate it depending on how they perform away from home.
