crownebeach 15 An experienced if unspectacular quarterback, a coach who maximizes his chances on the margins, modest returning production -- I was high on them last year because of their secondary, which has taken some attrition, but the advanced metrics like them and I do too.

Corgi_Koala 19 TTU is my dark horse pick for the BXII and I think they can surprise a lot of people, but there are some depth concerns there and history doesn't like TTU ever since Leach cast a pirate curse on them. Could win the BXII or finish 6-6...

ikindalikelemons 19 I love Joey Maguire and I love what he's building in Lubbock. The schedule for Tech is a daunting one, especially that Oregon date looming large in non-con play. Let's see what they can do.

fredmerc111 21 This team is loaded with returning starters and had a fantastic end to the season once they got Tyler Shough back in the picture. I love their style of play and cant wait to see if this off-season hype comes to fruition.

bretticus733 25 Texas Tech ended last season on a tear to finish 8-5 but the pieces could be there for a bigger season. However that hinges on numerous factors. The trenches need a rebuild on both sides of the ball. Tyler Shough can be a star QB and went 5-0 as a starter last season, but hasn’t stayed healthy. The defense has to replace Tyree Wilson. The defense overall has to improve as a unit. Texas Tech could be a dark horse for the Big 12 title and a NY6 bowl, but things have to come together this season for them.

throwaway_6786 21 I'm definitely a little high on TTU, but they did beat OUT last year (not as impressive as it usually is, but still) and soundly defeated Ole Miss in the Texas Bowl, so they deserve some credit. They've had, by all accounts, a great offseason, improving their roster and keeping most of the talent from last year's squad. The Red Raiders look to be a solid team, and we'll see if they live up to the expectations that come with it.
