Texas A&M among SEC's top playoff contenders according to ESPN FPI Rankings
Texas A&M among SEC's top playoff contenders according to ESPN FPI Rankings With 88 days remaining until Texas A&M kicks off against UTSA, ESPN's Football Power Index Rankings place the program in the upper echelon of Southeastern Conference teams in many categories, including odds to reach the 2025 College Football Playoff National Championship. According to updated post-spring power index metrics, the Aggies' 17.9 FPI ranks as the eighth-best in the country this season. The program also ranks No. 11, with a 34.3% chance of making the College Football Playoff and 2.1% odds of reaching the national championship. Here are the 2025 FPI national championship odds via ESPN analytics: These odds only amplify the difficulty of Texas A&M's 2025 schedule, which ranks as the 10th-toughest schedule in college football. Under second-year head coach Mike Elko, the Aggies are set to face six teams ranked in the top 20 for national title odds. The SEC also ranks as the top conference with the most programs projected to reach the 2025 College Football Playoff: SEC - 4.6 playoff teams, 61.4% national championship Big Ten - 2.9 playoff teams, 25.5% national championship ACC - 1.6 playoff teams, 8.3% national championship Big 12 - 1.2 playoff teams, 1.7% national championship Independent - 0.5 playoff teams, 2.4% national championship To reach the playoffs, the Aggies will need strong performances on both sides of the ball. That sentiment should be a realistic expectation with the talent Elko has retained and the new athletes added via the transfer portal. Texas A&M's returning sophomore quarterback Marcel Reed has all the potential to be a breakout star for the Aggies. With electric targets like NC State transfer wideout KC Concepcion and former Mississippi State wide receiver Mario Craver, combined with an athletic and physical running back in Le'Veon Moss joining him in the backfield, Reed will have plenty of playmakers surrounding him on offense this season. Via ESPN's power ranking analytics, the Aggies went from No. 20 to No. 10 in the best projected offenses this season. They also rank as the No. 11 defense in the FPI, a 12-spot improvement from last season.
