With the new 12-team College Football Playoff, No. 14 Texas A&M is in the thick of the postseason race ahead of its matchup against No. 8 LSU.
With Texas A&M in the race for the top 12, count Mike Elko as a fan of the new College Football Playoff format.Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko is seen during the second half of an NCAA college football game against Mississippi State, Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024, in Starkville, Miss.Back in the day, kids, the way college football worked was that once your favorite team lost, the season was lost, too. If you wanted to win a national title, that is.
“Now that you’re 12, I mean, you’re talking about 24, 26, 28 teams still viably alive to find a way into the 12.”This season has produced many surprises, none more shocking than the fact that when eighth-ranked LSU visits 14th-ranked A&M on Saturday, the 6:30 p.m. game will pit the only undefeated teams still standing in SEC play. Who could have predicted such a thing? Not if you watched the Aggies the first time they played a Top 10 team at Kyle Field this season.
Brian Kelly was looking for more defense after finishing 105th in the nation last year, and Blake Baker, his defensive coordinator, has given it to him. He’s got plenty of offense, as usual.Kelly called A&M “the best team in the SEC right now,” and while it might sound like he’s playing to the home crowd, the title will apply to one of the teams at Kyle Field. At least on paper.
