✅ 3-0 vs. ranked opponents
✅ 4-0 vs. teams with 9+ wins
✅ 6-0 vs. teams with 8+ wins (TCU could earn a ninth win)
They deserved a spot in the College Football Playoff 🤙🏼
Christian Anderson has totaled 87 assists this season in 12 games this season.
That’s already 10 more assists than he had in the entirety of last season.
He’s already eclipsed his playmaking production from last season in 23 fewer games and 613 fewer minutes.
No starting center. No backup center. Toppin and Watts in foul trouble all game. Texas Tech still:
- Out-rebounded Duke
- Scored 17 points off turnovers
- Won the paint battle 38–34
- Outscored Duke 36-21 in the final 15 minutes of regulation
Toughest team wins. #WreckEm

The sport is a complete disaster and the SEC rigging is a travesty.
#11 BYU is the lowest ranked 11-1 power conference team at the end of the regular season in CFP history.
Every other 11-1 power conference team since 2014 was ranked in the Top 10.
If you're going to penalize a 1-loss Power Conference team for a weak strength of schedule... BYU's SOS is better than Ole Miss and Notre Dame.
If you're going to penalize a team for not having the strongest power ratings (which incorporate prior year's history and recruiting rankings)... BYU's FPI is higher than Oklahoma's.
If you're going to penalize a team for a non-competitive / bad loss... Alabama lost by 14 to a team with a losing record and Miami lost to two unranked teams.
If you're going to use strength-of-record like you indicated you would, BYU's SOR is the second highest of teams 6-12.
BYU also (1) made its conference championship game and (2) if you sum up the wins of the teams it has beaten, it is THIRD in the country. It is hard to win games and BYU has beaten a lot of teams with a lot of wins.
This. Makes. No. Sense.
The @CFBPlayoff should be ashamed of itself. It has literally contorted itself into a pretzel to avoid putting BYU where it should be ranked (somewhere between 6th - 9th).
RT to get the info out there. They need to feel pressure.
