Week 10 of the 2025 college football season has just begun, the Texas Tech Red Raiders have just taken care of business against the Oklahoma State Cowboys, and for some reason or another, the Red Raiders are currently placed as the second-best team in the Big 12 according to ESPN’s FPI college football rankings.
But Texas Tech isn’t trailing the Big 12 team that you might suspect.
You see, the Red Raiders aren’t behind the BYU Cougars, who have the best overall record in the Big 12. Texas Tech isn’t trailing the Cincinnati Bearcats, who happen to hold a tie for No.
