Texas A&M is, improbably, 10-0. The No. 3 Aggies came back from a 30-3 halftime deficit to beat South Carolina 31-30 on Saturday. And it took A&M less than 20 minutes to erase that lead, too. E.J. Smith scored the go-ahead TD with 10:47 remaining as the Aggies scored touchdowns on the first four of their drives in the second half.
South Alabama scored four unanswered touchdowns in a 26-14 victory at Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday. Bishop Davenport and Kentrel Bullock ran for two touchdowns each for the Jaguars, who improve to 3-7 overall and 2-4 in the Sun Belt. The Warhawks fall to 3-7, 1-5 with their sixth consecutive loss.
The chances that the two Salina teams would meet up in the playoffs for the for the first time since 2004 still seemed remote after Central breezed through the regular season with a 7-1 record to claim the No. 2 seed in the West, while South was 1-7 for a second straight year and seeded 14th.
