The first batch of Top 25 college football rankings from the College Football Playoff Committee are out and Texas Tech has earned itself a spot amongst the 12 best teams in the country, which matters a heck of a lot right now.
As the season winds down, and as Joey McGuire and the Red Raiders try to lock up a spot in the College Football Playoff this season, getting ranked at No. 8 is a good thing to have happen. Every bit of recognition matters as Texas Tech does everything possible to try to earn a shot at competing for a national championship this season.
