Rankings from AP Poll

The 1994 Texas A&M Aggies football team represented Texas A&M University in the 1994 NCAA Division I-A football season. The Aggies completed the season with a 10–0–1 record overall and a Southwest Conference mark of 6–0–1. They were ineligible to win the Southwest Conference title or the postseason due to probation.[1]

Due to NCAA sanctions, Texas A&M was also banned from television for the 1994 season. Only one other team has been banned from television since, the 1995 Ole Miss Rebels. Coincidentally, Aggie defensive coordinator Tommy Tuberville left after this season to become Ole Miss' head coach.

The television ban caused the traditional rivalry game vs. Texas to be moved from Thanksgiving night to the first Saturday of November. Texas instead played Baylor on Thanksgiving in a nationally-televised game.

Game summaries

[edit]

LSU

[edit]

The Aggies won their fourth straight vs. the Tigers for the first time in series history. All four wins came against coach Curley Hallman, an Aggie defensive back from 1966-68. Hallman was fired by LSU with two games remaining in the season.

SMU

[edit]

The deadlock ruined the Aggies' unblemished season and removed any minuscule hope A&M could win the Associated Press national championship (probation rendered the Aggies ineligible to be ranked at all in the Coaches' Poll). It is the last tie for the Aggies and Mustangs, since the NCAA adopted overtime for regular season games starting in 1996.
