Texas A&M’s perfect season spoiled by rival Texas, but playoffs await for the Aggies
Texas beat Texas A&M again in a bitter rivalry. And while any loss to the Longhorns stings, this one is likely to stick with the Aggies for a long time. Texas’ 27-17 victory Friday night doomed the Aggies’ Southeastern Conference title hopes, spoiled their undefeated season, upended their potential seeding in the College Football Playoff and dinged quarterback Marcel Reed’s late-season surge as a Heisman Trophy contender. But the playoffs and a chance to play for a national title still await.
