Texas A&M considered serious CFP contender in latest rankings

Texas A&M is listed among the five 'serious contenders' for the College Football Playoff (CFP) by On3. Head coach Mike Elko enters his third season with increased expectations following the program's first CFP appearance last year, where quarterback Marcel Reed had strong performances. The Aggies will aim to build on this success despite facing challenges, including a new offensive coordinator and significant roster changes with 17 transfer portal additions. Elko’s group seeks to return to the CFP and advance beyond the first round after a December loss to Miami. Upcoming road games against tough rivals like Alabama and LSU will be critical in shaping the season.
