No. 3 Texas A&M faced South Carolina during Week 11 of the college football season, and after walking into halftime down 30-3, the Aggies showed some true grit

Not only did Texas lose at Georgia, but the manner of the 35-10 defeat offered little confidence in the Longhorns' playoff chances as a three-loss team. The offensive momentum they showed in wins over Mississippi State and Vanderbilt vanished against a more athletic defense.

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian won't be going to the College Football Playoff for a third straight season after losing to the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday.

The Ole Miss Rebels (10-1, 6-1 SEC) captured a 34-24 victory over the Florida Gators on Saturday night to further cement the program's College Football Playoff

Last year, A&M's struggles sort of made sense; South Carolina sported a solid rush defense (fourth in the SEC, 112.2 yards allowed per game). This year, the Gamecocks own one of the SEC's worst run defense, ranking 13th (153.7 yards allowed).
