Texas A&M football fans, for the first time in a long time, are looking forward with high anticipation to the College Football Playoff rankings show, which will be airing tonight for their first rankings of the season. With a new emphasis on Strength of Record factoring into the committee's decisions, the Aggies have a solid shot at landing the number one ranking tonight.
Of course, with the carriage dispute ongoing between Disney/ABC and YoutubeTV, there is a large section of Texas A&M fans that will be unable to view tonight's rankings, which air on ESPN. Customers of YoutubeTV have been turning to different services during this dispute, which has led to a lot of hassle for certain people.
Here's all the information fans need on how to catch tonight's College Football Playoff rankings broadcast, even if you are in the midst of the YoutubeTV struggle.

There's a lot to like about Texas A&M's potential position in these rankings. It could be a bridge too far to hope that they start at number one, but they top a lot of strength of record lists so far. They may not have the best win in the nation (that well could be Indiana's over Oregon), but the body of work that the Aggies have put together is probably better than anyone's else in the country.
We'll see how the committee decides to rank things tonight, but don't be surprised if the Aggies are one or two spots higher in this ranking than they are in the AP Poll— it will be a recognition of just how difficult it has been to get to where the Ags are currently at.
