Texas A&M vs Notre Dame takeaways: Aggies could be playoff-bound if...

There's a huge playoff angle to this game for the Aggies on this one. Texas A&M came into this season projected as a favorite in every game except for three: at LSU, at Texas, and at Notre Dame.

Well, they just won one of those three. That means that their playoff chances just shot up by a significant margin, as a 10-2 mark in the SEC is likely to get you in— especially with a win like this on your ledger.

Now, they have to finish out here as well. This is not a team that put out a perfect performance against the Irish, so it's possible that an opponent can jump up and bite them at some point on this schedule. But for now, you have to consider the Aggies as a playoff favorite.
