Well, after beating Utah by 24 points on the road in Salt Lake City, it looks like things are looking up for Joey McGuire and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. And nobody should really be surprised by that. Getting a dominant win over one of the Big 12’s best teams is definitely something to brag about.
And it’s also apparently something that the computers behind ESPN’s Football Power Index are going to be pretty fond of.
Right now, after handing the Utah Utes a 34-10 beating, Texas Tech is being given the Big 12’s best chance of making it to this season’s College Football Playoff (according to ESPN’s FPI).
