SEC media personality doubts Texas A&M's College Football Playoff chances
Summary

Cousin Shane from ThatSECPodcast expressed skepticism about Texas A&M's prospects for returning to the College Football Playoff in 2026. He cited concerns that the Aggies could lose their last five games, which include challenging road contests against Alabama, South Carolina, and Oklahoma, as well as home games against Tennessee and Texas. Despite a successful last season where the Aggies achieved an 11-0 start, questions remain about the team's ability to meet expectations under head coach Mike Elko and junior quarterback Marcel Reed's development. The new offensive coordinator has introduced changes that seem to be taking effect during preseason training.
