As Joey McGuire and the Texas Tech Red Raiders get a little bit of rest this weekend thanks to the magic of a bye week, it looks like the Texas Tech football team has earned itself a spot tied for the No. 1 ranking in the Big 12.
Of course, it’s absolutely worth noting that this is early and standings will change, but by beating Utah in Texas Tech’s Big 12 conference opener, the Red Raiders got a conference win. Which is a good thing. And so far, there are only five teams in the Big 12 who have managed to get a conference win.
