@conncarroll No.

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

@ConradDMills @broadwayshuff @RedRaiderSports Agreed. OKST fell behind in all 3 losses this year and Tech is built to play to play 4th quarter football. A very real chance Tech wins this by two TDs.

[CFB Kings @CFBKings]

Miami lost to SMU and Louisville last year, then went to the CFP and beat #7 Texas A&M on the road and #6 Ole Miss at a neutral site.

They are actively on a 5-game win streak vs. SEC teams, including three ranked teams and Florida twice.

The “SEC gauntlet” narrative in the big 2026 is laughable 😭

[Dave Wilson @dwil]

Texas Tech’s ambitions can be traced to a 100-year-old grudge over oil and politics. The P4’s most isolated school has waited for this moment. Everything the Red Raiders have ever wanted came with a fight, and that’s why they can’t stop fighting now.

I've been trying for months to find the right way to write about and contextualize the PUF Fund and Dave Wilson just... tweets it out

Sensational story. You can't understand Texas Tech without understanding why they have to fight.

Oh, so it actually WAS that loud? 😂

[Bussin' With The Boys @BussinWTB]

Kamario Taylor is reportedly finalizing a $7.5 million deal to return to Mississippi State in 2027, making him the highest-paid QB in college football per @PeteNakos and @Clowfb

[Shehan Jeyarajah @ShehanJeyarajah]

No. 42, 45 and 47 in the industry standard SP+ metrics. Amazing how you can just go on television and say stuff.

[CFB Kings @CFBKings]

Kentucky has lost by 28 points IN TWO DIFFERENT GAMES THIS YEAR.

Their best win is 6-3 South Carolina by 1 point in overtime.

7-2 Kentucky, with that résumé, is ranked ahead of 8-1 Texas Tech (who has two ranked wins) and 8-1 Wake Forest (who has won five straight games by 24+ points).

The SEC rigging has to stop, or the sport won’t be around for much longer.

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

The CFP committee and random joes quoting eyeball tests have totally lost the plot. Texas Tech has a top 10 rushing offense in college football, and they have not lost a 4th quarter all year. They play big boy football and are built to win close games.

ESPN pays the CFP, Literally….

📊 8 of the 16 multi-loss teams ranked in the Top 25 are from the SEC.

📊 44.4% of ranked 2-loss teams are SEC—with four of them parked comfortably inside the Top 11 (#3 Bama, #6 Texas, #8 Tennessee, #11 Kentucky).

📊 57.1% of ranked 3-loss teams belong to the SEC. A 3-loss SEC team is twice as likely to stay ranked as one from any other conference.

📊 The entire Big Ten and Big 12 combined only match the SEC’s multi-loss total. Meanwhile, the ACC has zero multi-loss teams ranked at all.

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

@chi_lando Yup.
The main issues with 12 are the ND tie in, the G6 guarantee even if they are outside the top 20 and the long layoff for bye teams. 16 would have worked very well but 24 is fine.

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

@GinjaNinja217 Zero Illinois players left the game not to return. A kid throwing up is not an injury. But cry more if it helps.

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

@felipe4prez So leaving out 11-2 Big 12 teams is somehow the better call?

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

@BFW Perhaps you could tell Hunter that Kamario was injured the week prior vs Missou and couldn't run?

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

@rOSUCowboys Red Dirt Bowl. Winner gets a concert. Turnpike, Flatland, Kaitlin Butts, Wyatt Flores, Wade Bowen and Pat Green.

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

@GoodmanHoops You are a bitter moron.

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

@_johnleone Exactly why I was pulling for BYU in that Holy War. lol. An 11-1 Big 12 team was always getting in. 11-2 did not last year.

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

@OKSTMart ROFL, One of the strangest posts of all time. OKST is sitting at 24 right now and on a bubble to get in were it 24. With 12 or less they have zero shot. You'd rather go to the Liberty Bowl in Memphis???

[Red Raider Radar @RedRaiderRadar]

@DanIsett Unless you lose to Utah. That's the risk of the Big 12 CG I have been warning about. Win out you get to 8 or 9. Lose that game and you drop to 12 or 13 like BYU did last year IMHO.
