Well, because Joey McGuire and the Texas Tech Red Raiders suffered a loss against Arizona State a couple weeks ago and are now a bit behind the conference leaders in the Big 12 as we enter Week 10, it looks like they need to make up some ground in the eyes of some.
Like USA Today’s Erick Smith, who doesn’t have Texas Tech making the College Football Playoff in his latest postseason projections.
Instead, Smith has the Red Raiders heading to Orlando, Florida to meet up with a really intriguing team from the ACC. While CBS Sports had the Red Raiders meeting up with the Miami Hurricanes in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, USA Today has Texas Tech facing off against the Louisville Cardinals.
