Impactful games to watch for Texas A&M football: Penn State @ Minnesota

The Aggies would like to see as many Big 10 teams as possible knocked out of playoff consideration. Penn State has a much better chance of winning against Maryland next week than they do against Minnesota this week, though they will be favored in both games.

Penn State would drop to two losses with no impressive wins. They're still ranked high due to how competitive they were against Ohio State, but they really haven't played a lot of good teams.

This is a tall order, but it's not completely out of the question. The Nittany Lions have an amazing defense, but this is just the kind of game that could trip a team up.
