No. 10 Miami will be in College Station this weekend to face No. 7 Texas A&M in the first round of the 2025-26 College Football Playoff on Saturday, Dec. 20. This marks the second year of the expanded 12-team playoff, and Miami-Texas A&M will be the second game of this year’s playoff.
Texas A&M was originally on track to avoid playing in the first round altogether. The Aggies were undefeated through 11 weeks and had a great chance at earning a bye before falling to Texas in the final game of the regular season. They still get to host a game as they take on the Hurricanes, who were originally on the outside looking in of the tournament.
