Does Texas A&M Have a Better Claim to A Spot than Buckeyes, ND/Clemson Loser?

Texas A&M dominated Tennessee on Saturday. The scoreboard only showed a 34-13 victory for the Aggies, but statistically, it was a dominate performance. Total yardage, third-down efficiency, and time of possession all heavily favored A&M.

After the win, Jimbo Fisher was asked to make his pitch. Why should the Aggies be in the College Football Playoff over others like No. 4 Ohio State and the loser of the ACC Championship Game? His pitch was simple.

He also had another zinger where he brought up the timing of when Texas A&M played Alabama.

"We play in the best league in ball," Fisher said. "We got beat by the No. 1 team in the country, who also had another super star on the team when they played us named Waddle. People aren't even playing against him now."

Antonio MacBeath with UMP Sports provided that audio via Twitter.

It's a fair response. The Alabama offense has continued to be dynamic even without star receiver Jaylen Waddle, who suffered an ankle injury against Tennessee, but it's still not the same.

The question is whether or not the College Football Playoff committee will take that into consideration during the selection process. Ohio State struggled against No. 14 Northwestern in the Big Ten championship, but they ultimately came out victorious (22-10).

It's about to be an interesting Selection Show on Sunday.
