As expectations for what is possible for the Red Raiders in 2025 seem to wildly vary depending on who you ask, there’s a general feeling that Joey McGuire and the 2025 Texas Tech football team should be capable of accomplishing quite a bit.
The ceiling feels pretty high for the Red Raiders this season. But it remains to be seen if Texas Tech can actually reach that ceiling.
The College Football Playoff is thrown around a bit with regards to what the Red Raiders are theoretically capable of. Playing in the Big 12 means Texas Tech is in a very interesting league that is full of parity but also theoretically paves a path to the playoffs because the schedule isn’t as difficult as it could be elsewhere in other conferences.
