The Texas A&M Aggies have taken the national stage on Saturday as part of the College Football Playoff's opening round, hosting the Miami Hurricanes.
The Aggies enter the tournament as the 7-seed out of the 12 qualifying teams.
Out of the SEC, Texas A&M is coached by Mike Elko, formerly of Duke. Their quarterback is the dual-threat Marcel Reed.
And each time they play, fans are curious about those letters at the end of their school name.
What does A&M stand for in Texas A&M?
A&M in Texas A&M stands for Agricultural and Mechanical.
According to the Texas A&M University website, it doesn't actually stand for anything anymore, but the letters "are a symbolic link to the school's past."
A number of other schools are also A&M, and in each of these instances they stand for those same two words.
What's an Aggie?
An Aggie comes from that A&M abbreviation.
Aggie is short for that agricultural aspect of the A&M.
Texas A&M and UC Davis are two Division I teams known as the Aggies.
