BCS/Top 25 Implications
Kanas State, despite two straight losses, is No. 14 in the BCS and No. 17 in the AP Top 25.
The national championship hopes they had a few weeks ago are surely gone, but they still have a legitimate chance at finishing with a top-ten ranking. They need to win this one, though.
What They're Saying
David Ubben of ESPN points out that Texas A&M will test Collin Klein's growth as a passer.
Bill Snyder isn't too worried about facing another high-powered offense, among other things.
Texas A&M Player to Watch
Cyrus Gray. With Christine Michael officially out, the senior running back will get a chance to start.
Gray has struggled the last two weeks against Missouri and Oklahoma (25 total carries, 87 yards), but he offers pass-catching abilities that Michael never really did.
Gray has 12 catches in the past two games and should continue to help balance out A&M's offensive attack.
Kansas State Player to Watch
Collin Klein. There haven't been many more entertaining players in college football this year than Collin Klein.
The junior from Loveland has thrown for over 1,200 yards with nine touchdowns and only four interceptions. He has also rushed for 906 yards and has scored an amazing 19 touchdowns on the ground.
His passing game still needs a little bit of work, but he can break off big plays at any given time. Make sure you're watching when he's on the field.
Key Matchup
Klein against Texas A&M's pass defense.
The quarterback will get his yards on the ground, but he can be really effective if he throws the ball well.
That could spell trouble for the Aggies, who give up 311 yards per game through the air. 311 yards is 118th-best in the nation. Not so hot.
They'll need to be better against Klein and company this weekend.
On the Hot Seat
Neither coach. Texas A&M had a good season last year and should at least make a bowl this year.
Kansas State is putting together a terrific season and won't have to make any changes.
Prediction
Kansas State 38, Texas A&M 31
