CBS Sports' bracketology update has Texas A&M facing a familiar foe

Texas A&M continues to sit atop the SEC standings after reaching 17-4, and 7-1 in the conference, coming off Saturday's 92-77 blowout road win over Georgia in a game that the Aggies controlled from the start, jumping out to a 26-6 lead after a 20-2 run opened the floodgates.
While the Bulldogs fought back to make it a two-point game late, senior forward Rashaun Agee, who recorded his tenth double-double with 18 points, 15 rebounds, and seven assists, was too much to handle late in the second half, and after finishing 19-20 from the free throw line, the Aggies jumped out to another double-digit lead, leaving Athens with a 15-point road victory.
Texas A&M is likely two or three conference wins away from earning an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, and is considered an 8-seed at the least, while some outlets consider a 7 or 6-seed as a realistic prediction heading into the final full month of SEC play.
After defeating Georgia, CBS Sports' bracketology update had the Aggies as a 7-seed, facing a familiar opponent on the football field this past season: the predicted 10-seed Miami Hurricanes, who are currently 17-5 and fifth in the ACC at 6-3. The humorous connection is obvious, as well as the exact College Football Playoff seeding for both teams.
If Texas A&M finishes with ten or more wins in SEC play, Texas A&M is almost guaranteed a 6-8 seeding, and if the NCAA Tournament decision makers have their way, matching up with the Texas Longhorns mor Miami in the first two rounds is more likely than not.
Texas A&M will face Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. and will air on the SEC Network.
