Given the history of the Texas Tech football program (especially recent years), it’s understandable why some college football fans might believe it’s fair to overlook the Red Raiders a bit when it comes to championship expectations.
Entering the 2025 season, however, things feel a little different.
And it’s starting to feel like there are some bettors and oddsmakers who agree with that notion. Now, I want to be fully clear that I’m not saying the Red Raiders should be the favorite in the Big 12 in terms of expecting which team will win the conference championship this year.
