Tech is a solid team. Don’t think they will run away with anything, but they’ll be a tough out for any team they play.

The defense is good.

Their offense can be shut down.

TT might roll these SEC teams just like Ohio State did last season.

Georgia fans are saying they are elite, bc they would beat them, Bama, A&M, and Ole Miss. Which they probably could, so I don’t understand what they are arguing.

There should be a moratorium until after the game for hot takes like these.

Nobody is saying that, but there's no elite teams this year and Tech looks pretty damn solid. This notion that only SEC teams are truly good is just idiotic and ignores the fact that this isn't 2014 anymore


Tech is good, but their SOS sucks.

There is no way someone can come here and definitively say that Tech would beat every SEC team except Bama and Georgia.

They might be able to do that, but they haven't had to face anything like that list yet.

If you took away freshman from the 247 talent rankings, because freshmen often bloat the averages, Texas Tech would probably be top 10 in the rankings.

No one is saying they aren’t talented, just untested. Calm down and breathe.

Their DL is undersized and would get shut down by bigger OL that have SEC Athletes. Their LBers are good but wonder if they look so good based upon opponents lack of athleticism? Can not get a read at how good their DBs are because they haven’t played a quality OL all year.

Good defenses tend to that with QBs.

BYU is so inept. 4 TOs in the 2nd half. QB just flat out dropped the ball while dropping back to pass. 11-1 in the Not So Big 12.

Apparently not, bc Sooner and Ole Miss are too. But this is just personal vs A&M for you guys.

Tech has a good Big12 defense, that does not translate when playing fast SEC or B10 offenses. Those LBs are going to get exposed, much like TCU was a few years ago.

I never said that I'm saying they could certainly make a run. You got a few posters in here acting they'd get smoked by a number of SEC teams

Im telling you, they think Tech would win the SEC and Big 10 Lmao


reality will strike soon enough in the playoffs. I just can't believe the travesty of putting them ahead of 1 loss sec teams.

I just did rookie, what you gonna do?

This isn’t 2012 anymore folks, the SEC is sending a bunch of good not great teams to the playoffs and Tech could beat any of them.

I’d take Tech straight up no questions asked against Aggy and Ole Miss in the playoffs. OU, Bama and UGA would be tough but they could do it

congratulations Texas Tech on you Mountain WAC Conference Championship! It’s been literally forever since you won an outright championship. Good luck!
