The Texas Tech Red Raiders are showcasing a phenomenal season, achieving a 5-0 record and leading the Big 12 Conference.

As they navigate their upcoming schedule, competition remains intense with teams like Cincinnati and Iowa State also vying for dominance within the conference.
Lubbock, Texas – The Texas Tech Red Raiders football team is currently enjoying a dream season as they establish themselves as the dominant force in the Big 12 Conference. With their impressive performance this season, they are considerable favorites to win the Big 12 and have a legitimate path to an undefeated record.
Texas Tech has recorded a perfect 5-0 start, which includes two convincing victories in the Big 12. The team has achieved impressive road victories against Utah and Houston, solidifying their status as a powerhouse in the conference. The Red Raiders have not only won every game but have done so with a substantial margin, as they’ve clinched victories by at least 24 points in all their games.
Looking ahead, Texas Tech is projected to be the favorite in all seven of their remaining games this season. Only three of these games will be played on the road — against Arizona State, Kansas State, and West Virginia. A successful finish to the season would lead Texas Tech to the conference championship game, which would mark a historic achievement as it would be the first time in program history that they reach this milestone.
While Texas Tech leads the Big 12 Power Rankings, the competition remains fierce. The Cincinnati Bearcats have gained credibility in the conference, winning their first two Big 12 games against Kansas and Iowa State. Cincinnati’s quarterback Brendan Sorsby has thrown for impressive numbers this season, accumulating 1,257 yards and 12 touchdowns, with only one interception.
In the current Power Rankings, Iowa State stands at No. 3 with a record of 5-1 and a conference record of 2-1, despite their recent loss to Cincinnati. Arizona State follows closely at No. 4, holding a 4-1 record with a 2-0 record in the Big 12, but will face a tough challenge in an upcoming road game against Utah, which currently holds a 4-1 record with a 1-1 conference record. Baylor ranks at No. 5, sitting with a 4-2 record (2-1 in Big 12). BYU remains undefeated at 5-0 (2-0 in the Big 12), although their strength of schedule thus far has not been particularly formidable.
As the season progresses, teams such as Kansas, TCU, and Houston are also vying for a spot in the conference championship, albeit with varying degrees of success. Kansas has emerged as a surprising team this season, showcasing a strong defensive prowess that has caught many off guard. The dynamic nature of the Big 12 means that the Power Rankings are likely to shift as teams compete fiercely heading into Week 7.
The escalating level of competition within the Big 12 will contribute to an exciting atmosphere for college football fans, as Texas Tech looks to solidify its dominance and potentially secure an undefeated season. All eyes will be on the Red Raiders as they aim to continue this impressive run and make history by reaching the Big 12 championship.
