(KBTX) – After suffering its first loss of the season to No. 16 Texas, the Texas A&M Football team dropped four places to No. 7 in the Associated Press Top 25, released Sunday.
The Aggies fell behind No. 3 Georgia, No. 4 Oregon, No. 5 Texas Tech and No. 6 Ole Miss, all one-loss teams. A&M is the lowest-ranked one-loss team in the top 10, with two-loss No. 8 Oklahoma, No. 9 Notre Dame and No. 10 Alabama sitting behind the Aggies.
Sunday’s ranking marks the 225 week the Aggies have landed in the top 10, all time.
A&M also sits at No. 7 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
The Aggies held the No. 3 spot in the AP poll for six weeks, moving into the ranking on Oct. 19 after beating Arkansas on the road.
Friday’s 27-27 loss at Texas knocked the Aggies out of contention for the Southeastern Conference title game due to a tiebreaker. The Aggies’ combined record of conference opponents this season is 11-41, which put them last in the tiebreaker and placed them fourth in the final conference standings. Ole Miss, who ranks ahead of the Aggies in the AP poll, finished third by tiebreaker.
No. 1 Ohio State (12-0) and No. 2 Indiana (12-0) received all of the first-place votes this week, with the Buckeyes taking 61 and the Hoosiers claiming five.
Five SEC teams sit in the top 10 and eight reside in the top 25. A&M claimed a win over No. 25 Missouri, as well as a nonconference victory against No. 9 Notre Dame.
Texas rose two places to No. 14 after Friday’s win over the Aggies.
The next College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday at 6 p.m.
