Kalani Sitake’s undefeated 8-0 and No. 8-ranked BYU Cougars head to Lubbock, Texas, this Saturday to face the 8-1 and No. 9-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders. This is a massive game for many reasons and could determine which team appears in the Big 12 championship game. But beyond that, it could determine who makes the College Football Playoffs.
And with a Top 10 road win on Saturday, BYU could nearly punch its ticket to the College Football Playoffs even if it doesn’t win the Big 12 title game.
The road to the CFP
If the Cougars emerge victorious this weekend, they will have an impeccable résumé at 9–0 with impressive victories over both Utah and Texas Tech.
