Texas A&M basketball fans have been excited with how the 2024-25 season has gone. The Aggies are currently 19-5 overall, with an 8-3 SEC record, putting them at fourth place in the conference and ranked No. 8 overall.
This has Aggie fans talking potential No. 1 seed for this year's NCAA Tournament, depending on how the rest of the season shakes out. The SEC is definitely lining up to have more than one No. 1 seeed in the Big Dance.
CBS Sports took a page from the college football playbook and did a "preview" show of how the NCAA Tournament's top 16 seeds currently look (all subject to change, of course).
Is Texas A&M projected as a No. 1 seed in March Madness?
The four No. 1 seeds that were revealed on the preview show were Auburn, Alabama, Duke, and Florida. Texas A&M was projected as a No. 2 seed, heading to the South Region with Auburn, Texas Tech, and Wisconsin.
Tennessee is actually the fifth overall seed, but there's a rule that prohibits the No. 5 overall seed from being in the same region as the No. 1 overall seed, so the Aggies were shited into the South Region.

The Aggies are facing off with conference rival Arkansas today, and then will finish the season against Mississippi State (R), Tennessee (H), Vanderbilt (H), Florida (R), Auburn (H), and LSU (R), so the opportunity to move into a No. 1 seed is still there.
