No. 3 Texas A&M loses its first game of the season after a sloppy second half of play, being eliminated from the SEC title game for the second year in a row following a 27-17 loss to the Texas Longhorns on the road.
What a demoralizing way to end the season for the Aggies—after a year in which second-half adjustments were the key to many victories, they completely laid an egg during Rivalry Week. After all the talk of them looking like a different team this year, they could not clear the last regular-season hurdle that will haunt them for another 12 months. So, while they will not end up in Atlanta, they will host a playoff game at Kyle Field.

The Lone Star Showdown trophy will remain in Austin, and the Aggies will have plenty to stew over as they wait to see the new CFP ranking drop to reveal who they will play. It is not all sour grapes, but a loss in this fashion will take time for fans to get over.
Below, you’ll find some of the best reactions from social media:
