COLLEGE STATION -- Two weeks ago, the Texas A&M Aggies spoke confidently about achieving bowl eligibility and finishing the season strong.

Back-to-back losses have turned that optimism into pressure.
Now, A&M (5-5, 2-4 Big 12) has two chances left to earn that
elusive sixth win, starting with Saturday's game against Baylor
(4-6, 1-5).

If the Aggies lose to the Bears - who whipped them 41-21 in Waco
last year - they'll have to upset No. 3 Texas on Thanksgiving to
avoid a third losing season since 2005.

Baylor has dropped five of six games since a 3-1 start, but will
still have a shot at a bowl game with wins against A&M and then
Texas Tech on Nov. 28. The Bears say the possibility of a bowl adds
helpful incentive this week.
