Texas A&M's Kellen Mond reacts to College Football Playoff snub: 'JOKE'
The Aggies only had one loss this season
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Texas A&M missed out on making the College Football Playoff despite only losing one game during the season.
The College Football Playoff committee put the Aggies in the No. 5 spot Sunday and they will take on North Carolina in the Orange Bowl -- but not a game where A&M will have a shot at the national championship.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Aggies quarterback Kellen Mond tweeted his frustrations with the committee and the team’s spot despite only losing to No. 1 Alabama this season.
"JOKE," Mond initially wrote.
"Texas A&M has no quality wins," Mond added. "All of these SEC teams that are 'MEDIOCRE' in the media’s eyes would run the table in some of these other leagues. Only a few teams out of the SEC can really play in the SEC."

Texas A&M lost to Alabama, 52-24, in the second week of the season. The team managed to go on a seven-game winning streak and ended the season with a victory against Tennessee.
After their win, Mond was lobbying for the Aggies as well.
