Projected seed: 10

Texas A&M sits squarely on the tournament bubble with a resume built around a handful of genuine quality wins and several damaging setbacks; road victories at Texas and at Auburn along with a dominant neutral-site showing against Florida State prove the Aggies can win away from College Station, but lopsided early losses at Oklahoma State and to UCF, a home setback to SMU and a road defeat at Tennessee blunt that case. Solid conference triumphs over LSU and Oklahoma add necessary heft, yet the schedule also features too many routs of overmatched opponents, so the profile lacks the consistent top-tier scalps that secure a comfortable berth. The remaining conference stretch gives clear chances to move off the bubble with road tests at Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas and key home dates against Kentucky and Texas, but Texas A&M must take those opportunities on the road to transform promising flashes into an unquestionable tournament résumé.
