"I haven’t lobbied or said a word up until now," he said. "We lost to the No. 1 team in the country (Alabama), then won seven games in a row. We can play with anybody.

"We play in the best league in ball. Some teams aren’t even playing seven games. They’re supposed to pick the best four."

TREVOR LAWRENCE'S 3 TOUCHDOWNS PUSH CLEMSON TO ACC CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY

Texas A&M didn’t get a chance to play in the SEC Championship game because of its divisional loss to Alabama. Florida and Alabama are set to play Saturday night.

With Notre Dame losing to Clemson in the ACC title game and Ohio State only playing six games, the door might be open for the Aggies.

"We play in the best league with the best players," Fisher said. "That's as much of an eye test as anything. Eight wins in the SEC ... I'd like to see someone else do that."

In the middle of a pandemic with conferences starting late and several games getting postponed or canceled in between, it won’t be easy for the committee to make a decision as to which teams are the best four in the nation.
