2025 College Football Playoff Schedule Released: Texas A&M’s Path to CFP

As the anticipation for the College Football Playoff (CFP) ramps up, the Texas A&M Aggies are in a pretty enviable spot. They’re sitting at No. 3, undefeated at 8-0 overall and 5-0 in the SEC.

Their next game against No. 19 Missouri is looming large. Missouri’s 6-2 overall and 2-2 in the SEC, so they’ve got a lot riding on this one too.

For Missouri, a win is basically a must if they want to keep their CFP dreams alive. Texas A&M, meanwhile, just wants to keep their perfect season rolling and lock down a top playoff seed.

With the first official CFP rankings coming soon, the newly released playoff schedule has just added another twist to the Aggies’ season. It’s hard not to feel the tension building.

Texas A&M’s Path to the Playoffs

The Aggies are heading into their last four regular season games, and where they land in the CFP rankings is absolutely crucial. If they finish with 11 or 12 wins, they’re almost certain to snag a top seed and, with it, a first-round bye.

Nobody wants to fall into those 5-12 seeds—having to play that extra game is a real headache. The stakes are obvious: win, and life gets a whole lot easier.

Key Matchups Ahead

The road ahead isn’t exactly a cakewalk. Texas A&M has two big road games left: Missouri and Texas.

Their home games—against South Carolina and Samford—look a lot more manageable. Still, those away games could shake things up in a hurry.

  • Missouri: This one could be season-defining for both teams.
  • Texas: Not an easy trip. The Aggies will need to show up big time.
  • South Carolina: At home, and the Aggies are heavy favorites.
  • Samford: Another home game, and honestly, it should be a chance to pad the record.

Understanding the Playoff Schedule

The CFP schedule is set up pretty carefully. The first round is set for Friday, December 19, and Saturday, December 20, at the stadiums of the 5-8 seeds.

Quarterfinals start Wednesday, December 31, and finish up on New Year’s Day. It gives the top teams a little breathing room to get ready.

Advantages of a Top Seed

Landing a top seed has its perks. You get a first-round bye and, at least in theory, a smoother path through the later rounds.

For Texas A&M, that could make all the difference as they chase their first-ever CFP appearance. It’s a big deal—no way around it.
