Texas A&M’s foray into the playoff committees top four did not last long. The Aggies went to Mississippi State and lost 35-28. Despite that tough loss, Texas A&M looks in decent shape to make a New Year’s Six Bowl. The trip to Starkville was the last time Coach Kevin Sumlin and company leave College Station.

If the Buckeyes win out, they will play in the Big Ten title game and with a win there, they are back in the playoffs. Certainly a one-loss Big Ten champion will make it. Perhaps even a ...
