(KBTX) – The Texas A&M football team rose to No. 3 in Sunday\u2019s AP Top 25, marking the first time the Aggies have entered the top 3 since 1995. <\/p>\n
The Aggies defeated Arkansas 45-42 at Razorback Stadium Saturday and were aided by previous No. 3 Miami\u2019s loss to Louisville Friday. <\/p>\n
A&M also moved up to No. 3 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.<\/p>\n
In 1995, the Aggies began the season No. 3 in the AP Top 25 and held the position through the first five polls of the campaign. A&M dropped to No. 9 after losing to then No. 7 Colorado. <\/p>\n
Sunday marked the first time A&M moved into the No. 3 position during the course of the year since the week of Nov. 10, 1975. A&M began that season 10-0 and moved into the top 3 after defeating SMU, 36-3.<\/p>\n
A&M honored that co-Southwest Conference championship team last week in the matchup against Florida, by wearing throwback uniforms from the era. <\/p>\n
The Aggies are the only undefeated team remaining in the Southeastern Conference and one of six teams without a loss nationally. It is the first season the Aggies have started 7-0 since 1994. <\/p>\n
A&M is the highest-ranked SEC team, with Alabama coming in at No. 4. Five SEC teams reside in the top 10: No. 3 A&M (7-0), No. 4 Alabama (6-1), No. 5 Georgia (6-1), No. 8 Ole Miss (6-1) and No. 10 Vanderbilt (6-1). <\/p>\n
Ahead of A&M sits No. 1 Ohio State (7-0) and No. 2 Indiana (7-0). In a weekend full of upsets, every position in this week\u2019s poll changed except for No. 1 Ohio State. <\/p>\n
The Aggies travel to No. 20 LSU next Saturday for a 6:30 kick and have No. 15 Missouri and No. 22 Texas as ranked teams remaining on the schedule. <\/p>\n
