A solid ten-point defeat of Kansas State over the weekend was enough to push Texas A&M to #24 in the Coaches and AP poll. The team will host #14 Baylor on Saturday, so that just got a little more interesting.
A&M's back in the AP Top 25 so I think this is the first matchup of ranked teams at Reed since the 2011 Texas game.
