Doogitywoogity 10 Thoroughly unimpressed by their outing vs ACU. This offense is going to be a weakness for the red raiders this season and the defense didn’t impress me much. I didn’t drop them further as it’s week one but they’ll need to show up and show out the next two weeks.

redrumsoxLoL 10 Tech comfortably won against FCS Abilene Christian but not quite as strongly as one might expect so they dropped a couple spots on my list.

Pyromania1983 11 A little lower on Texas Tech than the consensus though they did move up 5 spots this week for me because of how low they were last week. I think this spot is right, especially after an unconvincing performance against a bad team.

lowes18 13 Texas Tech won a really ugly game against Abilene Christian. Essentially nothing looked impressive by the Red Raiders outside of the pass rush. Texas Tech looked anemic on offense, essentially only gaining yards by abusing hopelessly outmatched Abilene DBs in space but even then Tech failed to generate much in the way of explosive plays. Realistically however if Tech hits on their pass rush and can run the ball with Hammond(who looked mediocre this Saturday) it may not matter for their chances to win the Big 12.

Solid W, but didn't quite live up to the hype they were having about running the conference. They will play a common opponent of Houston, Oregon St, this week, which will provide better comparisons.

ad51603 14 Struggled more than I thought they would. ACU can be solid sometimes but this is a team they should be beating by more than 23.
AoA_nB1 14 Struggled a little too much for my liking, my initial ranking was a little bearish so I won’t drop the Red Raiders
