As the makeup of the Big 12 continues to grow and shift, so have Texas Tech's top rivals, including a familiar foe from a dissolved conference. Here's a look at the top five.
1. Texas in all forms
Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the Red Raiders to their first victory against the Longhorns in Austin since 1997 with a 48-45 win over Texas last season. The Red Raiders still have some catching-up to do, trailing 49-16 in the all-time series, but every little bit helps.
Longhorns' baseball may have earned a series victory over the Big 12 regular season champions in Lubbock, but coach Tim Tadlock's group did the same last season, taking two of three against Texas in Austin.
