Projection: likely out

Texas A&M’s profile is a blend of promise and concerning evidence; the neutral victory over Florida State and the road win at Pittsburgh demonstrate the team can win away from College Station, but the ugly road loss at Oklahoma State and nonconference setbacks to UCF and SMU expose inconsistency and leave blemishes that selection committees notice. Most victories have come against overmatched opponents at home and don’t offset those bad results, so the Aggies’ path forward runs through a gritty conference slate where wins in hostile venues like Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas or marquee wins against Texas, Oklahoma and LSU would validate the resume. Until those chances are converted the balance of solid moments and damaging losses makes the picture one of upside tempered by too many résumé questions.
