  "account": "Texas A&M suffered a shocking 31-21 home loss to Kentucky, dashing hopes of a College Football Playoff berth. While one loss won't eliminate any SEC team from the playoffs, the Aggies' margin of error has shrunk significantly. They now face a grueling schedule, including games against LSU, Alabama, Missouri, and Texas. The Aggies must secure wins against these top-tier opponents to have any chance of making the postseason. With every additional loss, the task becomes increasingly difficult for the program to secure a spot in the CFP.",
  "summary": "After making the College Football Playoff a year ago, the Aggies are suddenly in trouble.",
