Texas A&M HC Mike Elko joined Pat McAfee to discuss Aggies football, CFP prep before hosting Miami, and the culture shift in Aggieland.

With one week until the Aggies’ College Football Playoff game against Miami, businesses around College Station are getting ready for what could be one of their busiest weekends of the year.

Coming into the game, Texas ranked 14th in the SEC with an average of 121.6 rushing yards. A&M has now allowed two of its last three SEC opponents to top 200 yards rushing (Missouri had 207 yards in an A&M win earlier this month).

The Texas A&M Aggies are already facing plenty of turnover heading into next season. Offensive coordinator Collin Klein is on his way out, returning to serve as head coach of his alma mater the Kansas State Wildcats.

There is a silver lining for Texas A&M despite getting embarrassed by its rival and missing the conference title game.

After a stellar season with Texas A&M and amid the Aggies College Football preparations, quarterback Marcel Reed shut down any idea he's considering transferring.

The Miami Hurricanes have made the College Football Playoff and will head to College Station to face the Texas A&M Aggies. The Aggies finished the 2025 season 11-1 ( 7-1 in the SEC) with wins over Notre Dame, Florida, Missouri and LSU. The Aggies were left out of the SEC Championship Game after a rivalry weekend loss to the Texas Longhorns.
