The latest AP Poll is out and the Texas A&M Football team is officially in the top five. This, however, might seem like somewhat of a negative after the Aggies landed at the fifth spot at the conclusion of the 2020 season, leaving them out of the College Football Playoff.

Still, it’s a bump up from their original AP Poll ranking, which had them ranked as the 6th-best team in the country. Now, they’re considered the 5th-best by AP voters.

How did they get this bump up? The real answer is that they took care of business. They didn’t have a close-call win, as some other top teams did — they won a game in which they were favored by 29.5 points by 31. If anything, expectations were slightly exceeded.

In hindsight, the Aggies bump up into the top five should have been expected. Texas A&M was almost guaranteed a win against Kent State, while two teams that were in the original top five went head-to-head in Clemson and Georgia. In that one, Georgia would come out the victor.

As a result, the Clemson Tigers dropped three spots into A&M’s original sixth spot. The Aggies moved up into the five slot, shifting in unison with Ohio State, who moved from four to three.

But with this move, the question remains — can the Texas A&M Football team move up another spot, cementing them into the College Football Playoff conversation?
