Aggies shoot up the rankings after Auburn win

Texas A&M football has continued its progress in the polls, with the combination of their 16-10 win over Auburn and several teams ahead of them in the rankings losing this weekend.

The Aggies are now sixth in the Associated Press poll and fifth in the coaches poll, levels they have not reached since 2022 and 2021, respectively. A&M benefitted from Georgia’s loss to Alabama, LSU’s loss at Ole Miss and Penn State’s double-overtime loss at home to Oregon.

Ohio State remains at number one in the AP poll, followed by Oregon, Miami, Ole Miss and Oklahoma.

Aggies add second commit to 2027 class

Little Rock (Ark.) Robinson cornerback Hakim Frampton showed a flair for the dramatic yesterday, committing to Texas A&M immediately after the Aggies finished off Auburn 16-10. Frampton, a longtime A&M lean, was suspected to be a potential commit before the weekend and proved prognosticators right. We’ll have more on the 5-foot-10, 150-pound corner early in the week.

Auburn win boosts defense in national rankings

Texas A&M’s near complete shutdown of Auburn’s offense certainly showed up in the NCAA’s statistical rankings, as the Aggies shot up the list in several major categories. A&M held Auburn to 177 yards of total offense for the game, 72 in the second half and just 1 yard of offense in the fourth quarter.

A&M jumped 30 spots in scoring defense, 31 spots in total defense (66th to 35th), 30 spots in rushing defense (72nd to 42nd) and from 68th to 49th in passing defense. The Aggie defense is now in the top 10 in both sacks and tackles for loss.

Volleyball continues hot start to SEC play with sweep of Vandy

Before the third-largest crowd to watch a volleyball match in Texas A&M history, the No. 13 volleyball team dispensed with visiting Vanderbilt without much trouble 3-0 (25-19, 25-20, 25-15).

The Aggies (10-2, 2-0 SEC) spotted the Commodores (4-7, 0-2 SEC) an early lead, then turned it on with a 6-2 run to take a 21-15 lead and take the first set. Vanderbilt never seriously challenged A&M in the final two sets, as A&M took the lead early and never relinquished it.

Logan Lednicky led the Aggies with 15 kills, while Maddie Waak racked up 37 assists.

Next up for the Aggies, who have won five matches in a row, is a midweek trip to Columbia to play South Carolina and a Sunday match in Tuscaloosa against Alabama.
