It may have been a great year for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, but they still must pick up the pieces.
Not everyone can win every College Football Playoff game under the sun. Despite having a first-round bye to the national quarterfinals, the No. 4 Texas Tech Red Raiders were no match for the No. 5 Oregon Ducks. In the trenches, these teams matched up equally. Howver, outside the numbers, under center, and on the sidelines, Joey McGuire's team was no match for Dan Lanning's squad, falling 23-0.
