With yet another win, the Texas A&M Aggies are now one of three teams (along with the Indiana Hoosiers and Ohio State Buckeyes) that remain undefeated in the 2025 season (9-0). Naturally, their path to the College Football Playoff is quite straightforward, but what about their Week 11 opponent, the Missouri Tigers?
What are the Chances of Texas A&M Making the College Football Playoff?
According to the PFSN College Football Playoff Meter (FPM), the chances of Texas A&M making the CFP are now a whopping 99.9% after entering the week at 95.9%. A loss to the Tigers wouldn’t have been the end of the world, either, with their CFP odds projected to fall to 89.2%.
However, the 38-17 defeat was a death knell for Missouri, whose CFP chances were already on life alert. After entering the contest at 5.3%, the No. 22-ranked Tigers saw their hopes fall to a measly 1.3%.
The Aggies roared out to their first 6-0 start in the conference for the first time since 1998, with their 19th-ranked offense and 12th-ranked defense, per PFSN’s College Impact scores, quickly dispatching the Tigers.
Of course, facing a true freshman QB in Matt Zoller made things easier for the defense, but the unit did allow over 200 yards rushing. The offense also missed several opportunities and turned the ball over once. With three games remaining on the schedule, Texas A&M will look to tighten up with postseason football just around the corner.
Remaining Texas A&M Football Schedule
- vs. South Carolina Gamecocks
- vs. Samford Bulldogs
- at Texas Longhorns
In between their final two SEC duals, the Aggies get a cake-walk in the shape of FCS foe Samford. While they can take that game lightly and still win, they can’t say the same about their other two battles.
South Carolina is 3-6 on the year with just one SEC win over Kentucky, but Shane Beamer’s squad has enough talent on both sides of the ball to upset a higher-ranked opponent, especially down the stretch, when everyone least expects it.

Then, there is the Longhorns, who look like a middle-of-the-road program some weeks and a world beater in others. The Lone Star Showdown returned last season after a 13-year hiatus, and Texas left victorious (17-7) en route to a CFP semi-final appearance. Perhaps Marcel Reed and Co. are able to provide payback and redemption this go-round.
Whether the Aggies finish the regular season undefeated or stumble down the stretch, their College Football Playoff destiny is all but sealed. Now, all eyes are on the SEC Championship Game and just how far Mike Elko’s program can ride this historic momentum.
