The Texas A&M Football team can reach the four spot by winning games that they should win

Texas A&M being the fifth-ranked team in the country doesn’t really mean much. After just a single week of college football, there’s only so much that we know about each team, SEC or otherwise.

There is, however, one team that we learned a lot about this week. That team goes by the name of Oklahoma, and they’re sitting a single spot ahead of the Texas A&M Football team in the Week 2 AP Poll at No. 4.

Entering the season, Oklahoma was thought of as a team that could compete for a national championship. With returning quarterback Spencer Rattler under center, the sky seemed to be the limit for this squad. On Saturday, that didn’t look to be the case.

The Sooners didn’t just have a rough game — they almost lost to Tulane, sneaking by with a 5-point victory. If not for a defensive stop at the end of the 4th quarter, the Sooners may have blown a 23-point halftime lead to a bad AAC team. The same Tulane team that went 6-6 last season, including a 3-5 AAC record. That’s the AAC, not the ACC.

If you don’t understand why I think Texas A&M can sneak into the 4th spot in the AP Poll, I’ll just spell it out for you. Oklahoma looks bad. At the very least, they look like a team that could lose a game in the near future, vaulting A&M into College Football Playoff territory.

At the end of the day though, does it really matter?
