The Texas A&M Aggies suffered one of the embarrassing losses in the Mike Elko era on Saturday at Kyle Field in front of another crowd of 100,000+.

No. 9 Texas A&M lost to the unranked Kentucky Wildcats in 31-21 finish that really wasn't as close as the final score indicated. Kentucky led 28-7 entering the fourth quarter before the Aggies scored two meaningless touchdowns.

As a result, Texas A&M fell 14 spots, the biggest drop by a wide margin this week of any team still ranked.
