Just a week ago, Aggie fans around the world were forgetting the A&M football season, apologizing and dreaming of “what could have been”.
Welcome to DSP Media’s Aggies Daily Blitz in partnership with AllAggies.com.
But now, after Alabama’s surprising upheaval, is there new life for the Aggies in the college football playoff landscape?
The odds aren’t good, but were they really that good before the losses to Arkansas and Mississippi State? A&M has won victories over Kent State, Colorado (barely) and New Mexico. Not necessarily a good CV to be in the Top 10 AP, let alone the Top 5.
Then with the two conference losses, all hope was lost. The team is inconsistent, the offensive line is young and inexperienced, and the quarterback position is uncertain at best.
The arrival of Alabama in a game that was supposed to mean so much to the Aggies before the start of the season was now an opportunity for A&M to be embarrassed on national television.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the expected kick. The Aggie have arrived. The 12e The man introduced himself. Zach Calzada has arrived. And coach Jimbo Fisher showed up, ready to beat his mentor and former boss, Nick Saban.
The Aggies beat the Crimson Tide 41-38 and are back in the Top 25. What does that mean for the rest of the season and for their college and college football playoff chances? Let’s talk!
