This latest prediction may be just enough for Texas A&M in College Football Playoff

They're finally starting to get recognized.

Texas A&M football has been one of the hottest teams on the recruiting trail this summer, and while Elko will still have to prove himself on the gridiron for the 2025 season, the culture of Texas A&M has obviously shifted compared to the years under Jimbo Fisher.

Before we get to what could be an electrifying 2025 season, we've seen tons of predictions on how the A&M season will go. We've seen anywhere from a 10-2 season to a 5-7 season, but we can all agree that Aggie fans are expecting huge things this season, and anything remotely less will be considered a failure.

The good news: You don't necessarily have to get to Atlanta to be considered for a CFP spot anymore. SEC Mike, also known as one of the SEC's most infamous sports personalities, has Texas A&M ranked where we can argue is enough for a spot in the College Football Playoff.

This is about as high of a ranking as we've seen from anybody in the media this offseason. With the Aggie offense featuring multiple weapons at the skill positions, along with a veteran offensive line, this has the makings for an unstoppable offense.

With a maximum of three teams making the CFP in the Big Ten and SEC conferences, respectively, it's still going to be an uphill battle for Texas A&M to have a spot, if this prediction actually does hold up. Especially considering that there's a potential loss in the non-conference when they head to Notre Dame, there could be an issue there too.

Honestly, Texas putting Arch Manning on a high pedestal means they are going to succeed expectations or completely flop. I believe Alabama and Georgia will be in the mix, but of course, we already know what fans say about the Aggies. Texas A&M has to perform to their potential, and if they don't, we'll just hear the same old Aggie hokes about flopping on expectations.
