After seeing Texas A&M in fifth place burst for a fourth 24-point period during Saturday’s exciting Orange Bowl, the North Carolina coach Mack Brown believes that the Aggies should have been invited to the decisive game of college football.
“They should be a playoff team,” said Brown after his team’s 41-27 defeat. “I think watching them and watching Notre Dame, they are so similar that you think we should expand the playoff, number one, so more guys will continue to play at the end of the year and that will help in the championship games. And number two, Texas A&M deserved to be in the playoff, so give them credit for the year they had. “
Tar Heels led 27-20 at one point before the Aggies’ furious onslaught, highlighting Devin Achane’s 76-yard touchdown that quickly changed the game to the sideline. The real freshman saw most of the load precipitated after an injury in Isaiah Spiller.
