You can watch the No. 5 Texas A&M Aggies vs. the No. 13 North Carolina Tar Heels in the 2021 Orange Bowl on Saturday, January 2nd at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
The Aggies (8-1) wanted to claim a spot in the College Football Playoff, but their 52-24 loss to Alabama proved too much to overcome and they fell one spot short. North Carolina (8-3) still somehow got in a big bowl game despite Coastal Carolina, Louisiana, and Indiana all probably having a better case, but a 62-26 win over Miami to close the season was the last outing in voter’s minds.
