How Texas Tech football's CFP ranking surged with 6 teams above losing
Texas Tech football is No. 12 in the second CFP ranking. That's after losses by Miami, Kentucky, BYU, Ole Miss, Ohio State and LSU.
Texas Tech football's College Football Playoff (CFP) ranking experienced a significant surge after a victory against West Virginia, which left six teams above them with losses. The Red Raiders, currently ranked No. 12, moved up three spots to 12 in the latest ranking released on Tuesday, Nov. 10. If they maintain this position on selection Sunday, Dec.
6, they would narrowly miss the 12-team playoff by one spot. Boise State, the highest-ranked Group of Six team, would secure the last berth in the bracket instead of Texas Tech. The CFP playoff begins on Dec. 18-19, with teams seeded Nos. 5 through 12 hosting their respective opponents. The top four teams—Georgia, Utah, Alabama, and UCLA—receive first-round byes if they retain their current rankings.
