The dreaded trap game caught a Tiger — actually all of them — on Saturday in College Station, Texas.
LSU was already locked into the Dec. 3 SEC Championship Game against top-ranked Georgia.
Brian Kelly and the Tigers had hopes of upsetting the Dawgs and making a case for a spot in the CFP playoffs.
However, 9-2 became 9-3 when Texas A&M, which entered a dismal 4-7 and 1-6 in the conference, throttled the Tigers, 38-23.
Devon Achane was unstoppable for the Aggies. The running back rushed for 215 yards on 38 carries and 2 touchdowns.

Now, the CFP committee has to be hoping 12-0 Georgia doesn’t fall to the 9-3 Tigers in the SEC Championship Game because that could create quite a thicket.
