The College Football Playoff selection committee agrees with AP voters: Texas A&M should be ranked ahead of Florida — for now.

UF (6-1) debuted at No. 6 in the first rankings Tuesday behind the Aggies (5-1), who defeated the Gators, 41-38, on Oct. 10. The top four teams are Alabama, Notre Dame, Clemson and Ohio State.

Despite the loss in College Station, Florida has been ranked ahead of A&M for the three straight weeks in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Even if the Aggies win out, the Gators control their own destiny.

Their win over No. 9 Georgia has put them in the driver's seat in the SEC East with games remaining against Kentucky (3-5), Tennessee (2-5) and LSU (3-3). A win over top-ranked Alabama in the conference title game would send Florida to the CFB Playoff.
