Texas A&M Stands Pat in Polls After Bye Week

A tumultuous college football weekend saw six AP-ranked teams, including three from the top 10, suffer losses, while several others narrowly escaped defeat. Amidst the upheaval, the Texas A&M Aggies remained unaffected by the chaos due to their bye week. Currently ranked No. 3 in the AP Poll, the Aggies trail only Ohio State and Indiana, who hold the top two positions with more first-place votes.

Texas A&M received one first-place vote and is 68 points behind Indiana in the AP Poll. The Aggies have remaining games against two ranked opponents, providing opportunities to improve their standing. In contrast, Ohio State faces one ranked team, while Indiana has no ranked matchups left. The potential for a Big Ten Championship clash between Ohio State and Indiana could benefit the Aggies if one of those teams falls.

In the Coaches Poll, Texas A&M ranks third with three first-place votes, trailing Indiana by 46 points but maintaining a 94-point lead over No.
