Texas A&M's rivalries vs. Baylor, LSU, and the Texas Longhorns were ranked high in. The Athletic's Top 100 college football rivalry rankings.
Texas A&M's vast rivalry history extends beyond the Lone Star Showdown against the Texas Longhorns, as the Aggies spent the majority of their football history in the Southwest Conference (1915-1996) and the Big 12 (1996-2011) before joining the SEC ahead of the memorable 2012 season.
While the return of Texas A&M vs. Texas made headlines last season after the decade-plus drought during the Longhorns' first season in the SEC, the Aggies have become bitter rivals with the LSU Tigers, which includes the historic 7-OT game during the 2018 season, which served as the 57th meeting between both programs, and only heightened the hatred between the fanbases.
Both rivalries will continue on the gridiron as long as all three teams stay in the SEC, and are still considered two of the greatest rivalries in college football history. On Monday, The Athletic released its top 100 college football rivalry rankings, which included three Texas A&M rivalry matchups, including the Aggies' longtime yearly matchup with the Baylor Bears.
No. 74: Texas A&M vs. Baylor
Known as the "Battle of the Brazos," Texas A&M currently leads the series 68–31–9, and while both programs have not played since the 2011 season, the Aggies dominated the Bears 55-28 behind a dominant performance from wide receiver Ryan Swope.
No. 71: Texas A&M vs. LSU
The first meeting between Texas A&M and LSU took place in 1899, resulting in a 52-0 victory for the Aggies. However, LSU has since won four National Championships, and currently leads the series 32–24–3. While Texas A&M defeated the Tigers 34-23 in one of the best comeback wins of the year, the Aggies have not defeated LSU in Death Valley since the 1994 season.
No. 15: Texas A&M vs. Texas
The Texas Longhorns have dominated the Lone Star Showdown since the early 2000s, while the Aggies won ten out of eleven games from 1984 to 1994. During the first matchup since the 2011 season, Texas was the better team on paper, and while the Aggies had their chances, the Longhorns didn't allow an offensive touchdown, leaving a sold-out Kyle Field with a decisive 17-7 victory.
In 119 meetings, Texas leads the series 77–37–5. Texas A&M will travel to Austin for its regular-season finale in 2025.
