Is Sports Gambling Legal In Texas

After New Jersey's Supreme Court victory in May 2018, any state that wishes can legalize sports betting.

Sports bettors from Nebraska could be placing legal sports bets soon, pending implementation of the recently passed casino referendum. Legislation to end the prohibition of sports betting has been proposed to Kansas state lawmakers, but no legalization bills have been voted into law.

At the same time various state lawmakers are considering sports betting legislation, Congress is too. Senators Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and now-retired Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, co-introduced comprehensive sports betting legislation at the end of 2018. On Sept. 27, 2018 the House Judiciary Committee held a formal hearing on the topic.

The dual track of proposals -- state and federal -- have increased in frequency since the start of 2017.

Legal Support for Texas Gambling If a person is in violation of Texas laws regarding gambling, he or she may need to hire a criminal defense lawyer to defend against the charges. If the charges include sports betting, the accused may need additional evidence to support the lack of intent to follow through or that the person did not place any bets.

To measure the change in the landscape, we ranked all 50 states and the District of Columbia in terms of how likely it is for each jurisdiction to offer full-scale legal sports betting. A brief synopsis for the active states is included, with updates to follow.

Last updated on November 3, 2020.

Already there

1. Nevada

No longer the only state to permit a wide variety of legal sports betting, Nevada is a mature market that has existed for decades. Given its long history in successfully offering regulated sports wagering, many states might look to Nevada for best practices.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 223
Population: 3,034,392 (2,246,259 21+)

2. Delaware

On June 5, 2018, Delaware moved to offer single-game betting on a number of different sports at three casinos in the state. Expanded sports wagering options could take place at additional locations or online. Delaware's authorization of what Gov. John Carney described as 'a full-scale sports gaming operation' happened less than a month after the Supreme Court ruled that the federal law restricting single-game betting to Nevada was unconstitutional.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 3
Population: 967,171 (726,161 21+)

3. New Jersey

On June 11, 2018, Gov. Phil Murphy signed the sports betting bill that had passed the previous week. A William Hill sportsbook at Monmouth Park took the first bets on Thursday, June 14 at 10:30 a.m. ET. Gov. Murphy was the first customer in line. The Borgata in Atlantic City booked sports bets 30 minutes later. Other sportsbooks in New Jersey opened soon thereafter. For example, FanDuel's first sportsbook at the Meadowlands opened its doors on July 14.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams and collegiate events held within the state
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 9
Population: 8,908,520 (6,634,683 21+)

4. Mississippi

Two casinos owned by MGM Resorts booked their first sports bets in Mississippi on Aug. 1, 2018. Mississippi enacted a new law in 2017 that allowed for sports betting pending a favorable decision by the Supreme Court. In June 2018, the Mississippi Gaming Commission adopted implementing regulations that require all betting to take place in person, with mobile wagering to be considered later.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 29
Population: 2,986,530 (2,153,795 21+)

5. West Virginia

On Aug. 30, 2018, West Virginia became the fifth state to offer legal and regulated sports betting when the Hollywood Casino -- a sportsbook owned by Penn National -- opened its doors. The move came six months after the West Virginia legislature passed a new bill with the West Virginia Lottery Commission serving as the chief regulator.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 5
Population: 1,805,832 (1,375,788 21+)

6. New Mexico

On Oct. 16, 2018, the Santa Ana Star Casino & Hotel booked its first sports bet in partnership with Nevada-based USBookmaking. Although New Mexico has not passed any new sports betting legislation since the Supreme Court's decision, the move by the Santa Ana Star Casino & Hotel was made via a gaming compact with the state. According to Nedra Darling, spokeswoman at the Department of the Interior's Office of Indian Affairs -- the federal agency in Washington, DC that oversees tribal gaming compacts -- the New Mexico compacts permit 'any or all forms of Class III Gaming,' a category in the federal regulations that specifically includes '[a]ny sports betting and pari-mutuel wagering.'

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 32
Population: 2,095,428 (1,529,540 21+)

7. Pennsylvania

The Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course booked the first legal sports bets in Pennsylvania in mid-November 2018. The move came just over a year after Gov. Tom Wolf signed a new sports betting bill as part of a broad legislation push that included online poker and DFS. The October 2017 bill became effective after the Supreme Court's May 2018 ruling upending the federal ban on single-game betting outside of Nevada.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 12
Population: 12,807,060 (9,645,705 21+)

8. Rhode Island

The Twin River Casino in Lincoln opened its doors for legal sports betting on Nov. 26, 2018. The move came five months after Gov. Gina Raimondo signed the state budget, which included language allowing sports betting. Only two locations would be allowed to offer sports betting under the law, with the state's lottery providing regulatory oversight. In early 2019, the law was tweaked to provide for mobile betting.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 2
Population: 1,057,315 (800,838 21+)

9. Arkansas

On July 1, 2019, the Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort booked the first legal sports bets in Arkansas. Two other retail locations opened sportsbooks in the subsequent months. Sports betting is regulated by the Arkansas Racing Commission.

10. New York

On July 16, 2019, the first legal sports bets were placed in New York. J. Gary Pretlow -- a New York lawmaker and chair of the state's racing and wagering committee -- was among the first to place a wager at the Rivers Casino in Schenectady. The opening of a legal sportsbook came six years after New York passed a law to allow sports betting at four on-site locations, all in upstate New York. After lying dormant for years, the law was revived after the Supreme Court ruling in 2018 and the issuance of regulations earlier this year. The current law does not allow for mobile wagering.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: No betting on games involving in-state college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 28
Population: 19,542,209 (14,724,807 21+)

11. Iowa

Legal sports betting arrived in Iowa on Aug. 15, with multiple operators all opening their doors to customers on the first day. The move came three months after Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed into a law a comprehensive bill to legalize sports betting in the Hawkeye State. Operators must pay a $45,000 licensing fee and there is a 6.75 percent tax on revenue. The new law permits mobile wagering. Betting on college sports is permitted, but certain kinds of in-game prop bets involving college games are banned. The new law bestows the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission with authority to regulate sports betting.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No prop betting on in-state college athletics
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 23
Population: 3,156,145 (2,286,374 21+)

12. Oregon

Legal sports betting returned to Oregon on Aug. 27 after a long hiatus, with the first bets booked on-site at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City. Oregon is one of a small number of states that already had a law on the books permitting some forms of sports betting, so the resumption of wagering did not require the legislature to pass any new law or have the governor amend an existing tribal-state compact. In mid-October, mobile sports betting arrived in Oregon too, with the state-run lottery overseeing the launch of a new website and app.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort, but sportsbook operated by the Oregon Lottery does not permit betting on games involving in-state colleges
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 10
Population: 4,190,713 (3,167,912 21+)

13. Indiana

Legal sports betting opened up at a number of locations in Indiana on Sept. 1. The Indiana Gaming Commission oversees all sports betting regulations and has issued licenses to operators across the state. Wagering on both college and pro sports is permitted, but betting on esports and high school sports is banned. Indiana's new law allows for both mobile and in-person wagering. Regulations permit sports leagues or colleges to request 'to utilize a geofence to prohibit wagers at the location of a particular sporting event.'

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No prop betting on in-state college athletics
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 14
Population: 6,691,878 (4,842,337 21+)

14. New Hampshire

Governor Chris Sununo placed the ceremonial first legal sports wager -- on the New England Patriots -- in New Hampshire on Dec. 30, 2019. The state's lottery is in charge of regulatory of regulatory oversight. Both retail and mobile sports betting will be permitted on a wide variety of sports, although no betting on New Hampshire's in-state colleges is allowed.

Type of wagering permitted: Mobile
Notable prohibitions: No betting on in-state colleges
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 0
Population: 1,356,458 (1,042,882 21+)

15. Illinois

Legal sports betting arrived in Illinois on March 9, 2020. The move came less than a year after the Illinois legislature passed a broad gaming bill that allowed for both online and in-person sports betting. With Governor J.B. Pritzker's signature, the new law also provided for betting on-location at venues such as Wrigley Field. Operators and certain data providers are required to obtain a license under the new law.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: No wagering on minor leagues or Illinois college teams
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 10
Population: 12,741,080 (9,391,158 21+)

16. Michigan

Legal sports betting in Michigan commenced on March 11, 2020, with two Detroit-area casinos launching on the same day. The move came less than three months after Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed the 'Lawful Sports Betting Act' into law. The new law provides for wagering on a wide variety of sports, including college contests.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 27
Population: 9.995,915 (7,428,72721+)

17. Montana

Legal sports betting arrived in Montana in March 2020. The move came after Governor Steve Bullock formally signed into law a 28-page bill that brought sports wagering to Big Sky country via the state's lottery. Governor Bullock cited the Montana Lottery's 'proven track record of responsibility and integrity' when signing the bill.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 13
Population: 1,062,305 (793,151 21+)

18. Colorado

May 1, 2020 marked the launch of legal sports betting in Colorado, with multiple operators allowing residents to open accounts online and place wagers. The move came less than six months after Colorado voters -- by a narrow margin -- approved a ballot measure that would provide 'for the regulation of sports betting through licensed casinos.' Both mobile and retail sports betting are permitted. Tax revenue from sports betting will help fund various state water projects.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions: None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019): 35
Population: 5,695,564 (4,210,663.00 21+)

19. Washington, D.C.

In June 2020, the D.C. Lottery launched its 'GameBetDC' platform allowing consumers 'to wager while in the District on major sports worldwide' via computer or mobile device. Sports betting in nation's capital followed the passage of the Sports Wagering Lottery Amendment Act of 2018 and a Congressional review period during which time Congress did not formally object. The Office of Lottery and Gaming provides regulatory oversight of all sports wagering in D.C.

Type of wagering permitted: In-person and mobile
Notable prohibitions:No betting on games involving colleges located in D.C.
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019):None
Population: 705,749

20. Tennessee

Regulated sports wagering -- all online -- launched on November 1, 2020 in Tennessee with four licensed operators offering a wide variety of options. The 'Tennessee Sports Gaming Act' permits statewide mobile sports betting without any brick-and-mortar anchor. As such, there are no in-person retail sports betting locations in the state. Subject to an exception, Tennessee's new law requires all licensed operators to 'exclusively use official league data for purposes of live betting.'

Type of wagering permitted: Mobile only
Notable prohibitions:None
Number of casinos (as of Dec. 31, 2019):None
Population: 6,829,174

21. North Carolina

On July 26, 2019, Governor Roy Cooper signed into a law a bill to 'allow sports and horse race wagering on tribal lands,' with such betting designated as a 'Class III' gaming activity under the state compact. The new law permits betting on both college and professional sports, but all bettors must place their wagers in-person at one of two retail locations.

22. Washington

Governor Jay Inslee signed Washington's sports betting bill into law on March 25, 2020. The new law permits sports wagering at Class III tribal casinos in the state. Mobile sports wagering is not allowed statewide, but is permitted when on-site at a licensed tribal casino. Betting on an 'esports competition or event' is allowed, but the new law bans wagering on games involving in-state colleges or minor league professional events. The new bill delegates regulatory oversight to the Washington State Gambling Commission.

23. Virginia

After some back-and-forth between Governor Ralph Northam and the legislature, legalized sports wagering was approved in the Commonwealth of Virginia in April 2020. Online betting is allowed, but wagering is not permitted on Virginia-based college sports or certain youth sports.

24. Maryland

In November 2020, Maryland voters approved 'sports and events betting for the primary purpose of raising revenue for education' by about a 2-1 margin. A regulatory framework must be created by Maryland lawmakers before any sports wagering takes place. The Maryland referendum would potentially allow for both in-person and mobile sports betting throughout the state.

25. South Dakota

On November 3, 2020, voters in South Dakota approved a ballot measure permitting 'sports wagering in Deadwood.' Other tribal locations in South Dakota could see the arrival of regulated sports betting too. State lawmakers must now establish a regulatory apparatus and tax rate for legalized sports wagering.

26. Louisiana

In November 2020, voters in the vast majority of Louisiana's 64 parishes approved a ballot measure permitting 'sports wagering activities and operations.' As a result, regulated sports wagering could come to New Orleans and certain other cities as early as 2021. Lawmakers will be tasked with setting up a regulatory scheme during an upcoming state legislative session.

Moving toward legalization

All of these states have seen some degree of legislative activity towards the legalization of sports betting the past few years.

27. Oklahoma

In April 2020, two federally-recognized tribes reached agreement with Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt on new gaming compacts that include sports betting. On June 8, 2020, Governor Stitt announced that the Department of the Interior had approved the compacts, paving the way for sports betting to start in Oklahoma as soon as the 'compacts are published in the Federal Register.' A bipartisan group of state lawmakers, along with Oklahoma's attorney general, have expressed opposition to the expansion of sports betting in Oklahoma and the prospect of legalized sports wagering remains uncertain.

28. Maine

On the last day of the state's 2019 legislative session -- June 19 -- Maine lawmakers passed 'An Act to Ensure Proper Oversight of Sports Betting in the State.' Shortly thereafter, the governor vetoed the bill. The legislature could re-introduce the bill later.

29. Nebraska

On November 3, 2020, Nebraska voters approved certain amendments to its state constitution legalizing 'all games of chance.' If the new constitutional amendments are construed to include wagering on sporting events, legalized sports betting could arrive in Nebraska upon the establishment of certain regulations.

51. Utah

Utah's anti-gambling stance is written into the state's constitution. Any change to existing state policy toward gambling would be a massive departure from decades of opposition to any form of gambling, including lottery tickets, table games and sports betting.

With team owners like Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones, it might actually be true that everything's a little bigger in Texas. At least in terms of personalities, that bit is apparently true. There are several noteworthy sports franchises from across the leagues, which isn’t surprising given the state’s size. The number of teams not only creates some fierce interstate rivalries but also a rich sports gambling market.

We bring up sports here because as a sports resource site, our number-one goal is to point out to you the legality of sports betting in your state, and to help you find the right US online sportsbooks with which to bet.

Is Online Sports Betting Legal In Texas?

Yes, legally sanctioned online sports betting is available in Texas, but only through licensed and regulated offshore sportsbooks. You won’t find any physical sportsbook locations in the Lone Star state, nor any state-regulated online sports gambling, leaving offshore sportsbooks as your best option. There are multiple offshore betting destinations available to Texas sports fans, but you need to be selective as to where you place your bets in order to keep things legal.

There are no state-specific or federal laws that make online gambling illegal for Texas residents. What you want to do is find an offshore site that accepts USA players. These sites are perfectly legal for Americans because they are located outside of the United States and ultimately out of the reach of the US government. And this is where we come in as a resource, pointing you in the direction of a reputable US friendly sportsbook that is located offshore.

State and Federal Regulations Against Gambling

Texas has threatened more than a few times to secede from the union and to become its own country, but in as much as they're still part of the United States of America, Texas actually toes the federal line and doesn't impose its state freedom over federal anti-gambling regulations.

The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, or PASPA, outlawed sports betting in 46 states during its reign. Texas was on the list of banned states and couldn't host any type of state-sponsored sports betting because of it. PASPA was repealed by the SCOTUS in 2018, giving states the option to enact domestic sports betting laws.

The Federal Wire Act blocks US-based online sportsbooks from accepting wagers from domestic bettors across state lines. This law is currently preventing state licensed online sportsbooks from accepting bets from neighboring states. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) monitors financial institutions and how they process online gambling transactions.

So again, none of these laws specifically outlaw legally sanctioned online gambling from offshore gambling sites. Legal sports betting is available to Texas sports fans, and without the risk of any type of legal penalties. The sportsbooks listed in this guide are all operating legally within the industry.

Your Gambling Options as a Texan

Being such a large state, and located in the American southwest, there are dozens of legally recognized Native American (Indian) tribes strewn about Texas. Many of these recognized tribes are allowed to open up casinos, and so you have quite a few viable gambling options inside of the state. All told, there are just over a dozen legal casinos in Texas, available in 14 separate cities. The state has also made two exemptions for racetracks, so you can go bet on the greyhounds at two separate locations.

For races, you can check out the Valley Race Park in Harlingen, or The Race Barn in Fredericksburg. If you want something more in the realm of a niche, like a flat bingo hall, then Houston has Triple Crown Bingo. And, of course, if you want to play at a legitimate casino, full of table games, slots, entertainment, dining and other typical options, you have choices like the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino in Eagle Pass, or the Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie.

You're probably not going to find any true Vegas-style casinos within the state of Texas. Most of Texas' offerings are strictly tribal, which means they're relatively small and basically niche casinos. However, if you're a Texan and are bitten by the gambling bug, you should know that there are over a dozen places throughout the state at which you can visit to gamble. So you do have options available.

Betting On The Dallas Mavericks

The Mavs shocked the world a few years ago when they beat LeBron James and the Miami Heat in six games in the Finals. After Dwayne Wade and LeBron James made fun of Dirk Nowitzki, mocking him because he was sick, Dirk went off and the Mavs made the Heat look silly. However, it's been all downhill sense. Even picking up a stud from the Rockets like Chandler Parsons, and grabbing Rajon Rondo from Boston, who was one of the league's best point guards, the Mavs still missed the playoffs and threaten to be just as mediocre again. A lot of this is because Dallas plays in the West, alongside two other really good Texas teams who are perennial playoff squads. But some of it has to do with the fact that Dirk is old and the Mavs don't really have a fast, strong, high-flying team. You might be able to eek out a few bets with the Mavs as regular season home favorites, but don't get carried away with them.

Odds For Dallas Mavs To Win NBA Championship In 2016+15000

Betting On The San Antonio Spurs

There's not much you can say about the Spurs beyond the fact that coach Pop is one of the greatest to ever do it. Since coming into the league in the late '90s, Tim Duncan and the Spurs have been a threat to win the NBA championship every single year. Alongside Tony Parker and fellow elder statesman Manu Ginobili, the Spurs are rounded out by younger, talented players like Kawhi Leonard and Patty Mills. While they may run into a buzz-saw via the Warriors or the Thunder in the playoffs next year, it's a pretty safe bet that the Spurs will in fact make the playoffs. In the regular season, they're as solid a bet as there is in the NBA. Particularly for a straight win, the Spurs when favored are close to automatic. They're the epitome of the basketball 'team,' and Tim 'Old Man River-Walk' Duncan still has some life in him as the 'Big Fundamental.'

Betting Odds For Spurs To Win NBA Championship In 2017+900

Betting On The Houston Rockets

Fans of basketball in Texas can't help but to be in awe over the talent the Houston Rockets have managed to amass. Behind the coaching talents of former Celtics all-star champion Kevin McHale, the Rockets feature fantastic players like Dwight Howard, James Harden, Jason Terry, Trevor Ariza, and Corey Brewer. Last season, they relied on Harden's ball-handling skills a little too much with games on the line against the Warriors, but they came back from 3-1 to defeat the LA Clippers in dramatic fashion. The Rockets will certainly be a decent bet this year. Nothing is guaranteed in the NBA, but the Rockets are a great, talented squad that can pull away to cover or catch up with spreads. They're a low-risk, high-reward team.

Betting Odds To Win NBA Title+4200

Of course, if you're a sports better in Texas, you may be wondering what happened to your other pro teams. You have two MLS teams and one NHL team, and these teams are nothing to scoff at. Well, we kept things in the realm of the most popular, for betting purposes, but if you want to bet on soccer or hockey, feel free.

Just remember to always find a reputable sportsbook with which to bet, and always do your research on the teams. Betting with stats on your side is how you end up winning over the long haul. Don't bet with risk; bet for reward.

NFL Teams in Texas

Two NFL teams, the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Texans, call the Lone Star State their home. The Dallas Cowboys joined the NFL in 1960 and have went on to win 5 Super Bowls, have several former players enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and are the most valuable sports team in the world across all sports valued currently at $4.2 billion, according to Forbes. The Houston Texans came into the NFL in 2002 and are the youngest franchise in the NFL currently, replacing the Houston Oilers (now known as the Tennessee Titans) who left after the 1996 season and looking for their first Super Bowl.

Betting on the 2019 Dallas Cowboys

Last year the Cowboys proved that they are on the right track to winning another Super Bowl for the franchise. America's team finished the season with a 10-6 record and first in the NFC East. Dax Prescott (QB) led his team to the playoffs and won the Wild Card round but fell just short in the Divisional round against the LA Rams. This year the team should build on their shortcomings and become a real factor in the playoffs.

Betting on the 2019 Houston Texans

Houston fans have a lot to be excited about after last season. Deshaun Watson led his team to an 11-5 record that was good enough to win the AFC South division. The team lost in the Wild Card round against the Indianapolis Colts but was able to hold their own in the regular season. At one point the Texans went on a 9 game winning streak. Next year the Texans will look to dive deeper into the playoffs with a couple of postseason wins.

College Football Teams in Texas

College football has a rich tradition in the state of Texas with five universities currently in a Power 5 Conference. The Baylor Bears were having the most success in school history up until news broke in 2016 about numerous sexual assault allegations and convictions from 2012-2016, which led to the firing of former head coach Art Briles along with university president and athletic director resigning. The TCU Horned Frogs are the winningest Texas college football this decade, winning 75 games under head coach Gary Patterson since 2010. The Texas Longhorns are one of the most historic football programs in the country with 4 national championships, 2 Heisman Trophy winners, and 4 players inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Texas A&M has won 3 national championships, has 2 Heisman Trophy winners and are the only P5C Texas university not in the Big 12, having moved to the SEC in 2012. The Texas Tech Red Raiders enjoyed most of their success in the 2000s under former head coach Mike Leach’s air raid offense.

Betting on the 2019 Baylor Bears

Baylor has had some really good football teams in the past but last year was not one of them. They finished 5th in the Big 12 with a 7-6 record overall. They were able to squeeze into a bowl game which they won against Vanderbilt 45-38.

TCU had what fans would call an off-season last year. The Horned Frogs finished the year with a 7-6 record and won a trip to the Cheez-it Bowl. They were able to beat California in their bowl game but they had to win it in overtime.

Betting on the 2019 Texas Longhorns

Texas had a good season last year but they would like to do better in 2019. Last year they finished with a 10-4 record and 2nd in the Big 12 behind Oklahoma. They ended their season on a high note when they beat Georgia in the Sugar Bowl 28-21. Next year the team will be shooting for their first college football playoffs since its existence.

Last year the Aggies finished second in the SEC West with a record of 9-4. Coach Jimbo Fisher is looking to build on last year and to earn a spot in the college football playoffs. Last year the Aggies stunned their rivals the LSU Tigers with a 7 overtime game that finished with the Aggies on top 74-72. That game will just add fuel to the rivalry.
