What about Mississippi State? They beat any Big 12 teams?

---

Ah, yes. Beating the 6th place team puts MSU in position to win the conference.

---

same team that beat TT? Or was that a different ASU?

---

No. Everyone knows a team has no variability in their play from one week to the next. Especially in the first game of the season.

Using this logic Bama lost to FSU and then Bama beats UGA. So UGA should be suspect in all their CPF games because BAMA lost to a 'different' FSU that ended up being far far worse than ASU'.

Wow this entire argument for both cases is beyond idiotic

Big 12 is the second best conference top to bittom. Big 10 is good at the top, but would probably go 7-9 vs the B12.

The anti/B12 bias is strong here with some

---

There is no bias. Just reality. The talent gap is a very real thing and the big 12 is closer in talent to G5 than the B1G/SEC.

Watched enough of their games against BYU (twice), Utah and Az State to remain thoroughly unimpressed. BYU is not nearly as good as many try to make them. Similar with Utah, a game that was very much up in the air until mid-way through the 4th quarter. They lost at Az State, a team that moved the ball very effectively against that "vaunted" defense, giving up drives of 62, 66, 69 and a game-clenching 75 yarder at the end of the game. The rest of their games were against tomato cans. The more I look at it, the more I think Oregon runs a train on Tceh.

---

Told y'all. That game was worse than the 23-0 score indicated.

carl spacklers hat said:

---

I agree with the comparison. The problem with evaluating Tceh is their body of work this season. OOC against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Kent State and Oregon State - all garbage. In conference they run up wins against a bunch of hacks plus two to three average teams. This year, they'd finish somewhere in the 7-11 range in the SEC. They're going to get smoked in the playoffs.

This aged well! Blue star for you sir!

If it can happen to Indiana it can happen to Tech. Oregon may get the best of Tech much like Notre Dame did last year when they played Indiana, but Cody Campbell and his money aren't going away. Neither is James Blanchard and his knack for targeting successful transfers. Look at where Indiana is this year and look at where Tech could be in year 2. You're comparing Tech to how it was back when A&M was in the Big XII and both teams aren't even remotely the same thing. Tech has the most decorated defensive player in the country. You couldn't say that 15 years ago or even ever.

For the record IU's OOC schedule this year was garbage also.

Tech is good. They're not squeaking by folks. They're burying pretty much everyone. We don't have any room dogging them when they would probably have the same record as we do vs the teams we played. Our schedule wasn't exactly Burma Road.

---

A t-shirt sip posting as a disgruntled Aggie working hard to e-defend an overrated Big-12 school. What a weird time to be alive. Seems like a waste of time and effort, but keep up the diligent effort, guy.

There isn't much wrong with that Tech football team... Y'all act like they are over rated because they are in the Big 12...? I get it but they have done nothing but win and put away their opponents.

Media has dogged us for playing bottom 1/2 of SEC and here we are doing the same thing to Tech because of their conference.

---

There are several teams in the bottom half of the sec that would win the big 12.

The talent gap between the big 12 and SEC is massive. Like not even close. The big 12 is literally closer in talent to the G5 than it is to the SEC.

---

There is a talent gap in terms of future NFL talent. There are zero teams in the bottom half of either the Big 10 or SEC that would win the Big XII.

---

That's a weird flex, fella. "Only 9 of the Big-10 teams and 7 of the SEC teams would win the Big-12".....

Definitely a possibility they could be shown an embarrassing early exit.

Listen to Vanderbilt. Who did they beat to justify their ranking?

We'll likely get to see Tech in the playoffs next year. Have you seen their schedule?

Really? tech vs. Bama would have been a good matchup this week or a couple of weekends ago. The B12 champ vs. the SEC runner up.

Yeah, there is a bias here. Everyone on here thinks the SEC is all everything yet they'll have ONE team in the semis. I think top to bottom the SEC is stronger, but to assert there's no comparison is absurd. And what's more absurd is crowing about tech's performance today when A&M scored only 3 at home and Bama was taken apart and scored 3 today.

Here's the deal: had tech and Oregon switched places and tech played JMU at home, today's results would have been different. Oregon MAY still have won, but I wouldn't have bet on it. tech is a team that suffered greatly from a 3.5 week sabbatical. Also, keep in mind that today's game was only 13-0 well into the 4th quarter. Didn't matter, but it was a little closer than the 23-0 final indicates. Especially given tech's 40 turnovers and horrendous QB play.

I think the Big 12 is definitely down, but they beat everyone in it by 4 TD's except when their QB1 was unavailable. They are going to be a really tough out for someone.

"Everyone on here thinks the SEC is all everything yet they'll have ONE team in the semis."

The BIGXII had ONE team in the entire CFP, the SEC had 5. By design, the two best SEC teams are playing tonight, to keep it from being an SEC V SEC title game.

If you think the BIGXII is the 2nd best conference in the country, you're either drunk or high.

15th place in SEC since they lost to ASU which beat tech and lost to Msu.

Bump.

What a fun game! My first tcwh game watching in 30 years. Rewarding.

Jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja

Tech plays not one but TWO FCS schools next season.

https://fbschedules.com/2026-texas-tech-football-schedule/

Wow I knew thier OL was bad but dang.

That elite defense was not so elite. That game could have been so much worse.

HarryJ33tamu said:

Tech's defense is legit. They will lose because of their offense. They are awful in the red zone in the games I've watched.

Their defense will keep them in every game they play in the playoffs unless the offense just has a bunch of turnovers

---

Good call

Once again, the Big 12's sacrificial lamb gets slaughtered in the CFP.

Right now, the worst loss in the CFP belongs to.......'bama.

Glad this got bumped. What a total fraud as a 4 seed.

"Really? tech vs. Bama would have been a good matchup this week or a couple of weekends ago. The B12 champ vs. the SEC runner up."

It would have been a good game because neither team was a legitimate threat to win the CFP. Bama wasn't SEC runner up, they were just the loser of the SECCG, but no way were they the second best team in the SEC. Tceh vs Bana would have been a decent barometer for where Tceh would have slotted in the SEC this year. I posted elsewhere that Tceh would have finished in the 7-11 range in the 2025 SEC, and their performance today reinforces that notion.

Closer than the final score indicates? At one point in the game Oregon had the ball in the red zone 4 times and just 3 points to show for it. Also, don't you think Texas Tech's turnovers MIGHT have been caused by a stout Oregon defense? Tech averaged 42 ppg this season, mostly because of an egregiously horrible schedule. They played one very good team this season and they lost by 3 touchdowns.
