Texas A&M scored 23 points against Alabama in Week 4 — tying the second-most points scored by an opponent in Tuscaloosa since 2012 — but the Aggies still lost the game and their playoff hopes, however slim they were to begin with.
While a two-loss will eventually make the field in a four-team playoff format, it won't happen this year for a team a non-divisional winner like Texas A&M, therefore the Aggies were one of 15 FBS teams officially eliminated from playoff contention in Week 4.
