Texas Tech keeps proving it — the Red Raiders have the numbers of a national champion. After a 42-17 win over Kansas, Tech has 9 sacks, 500+ yards, and another 24-point blowout to stay atop the Big 12. John Kurtz breaks down why Texas Tech football is built to win it all, what the data shows, and who could challenge them — Utah, BYU, Cincinnati, Arizona State, and Iowa State.
Plus, the fallout from the Lance Leipold–Joey McGuire sideline drama, and how the Big Ten’s private equity deal and Penn State coaching search could impact the Big 12.
