Texas A&M suffered another concerning setback in a 42-24 loss to the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday, and to nobody’s surprise, it cost them dearly in the polls. The Aggies, who entered the weekend ranked No. 17 in both major polls, dropped out of the AP Top 25 as well as the USA Today Coaches Poll when the new rankings released on Sunday.
The Ags weren’t especially close to remaining ranked either, with 12 other unranked teams receiving more votes in the AP poll (effectively ranking A&M 38th) and 10 unranked teams receiving more votes in the Coaches poll (ranking A&M 35th).
