OKgolfer 4 LW: 8. Top 1-loss team.
Justanother_0 5 Bad loss to Cincinnati, but two wins over quality opponents in Houston and Arizona
AlexanderComet 6
douchebagjack 6 Best 3 Wins: Houston, Arizona, Arizona State.
1 Losses: Cincinnati.
Arizona is a great win for Tech. They need to keep on the path. And does the Big XII get 3 teams this year?
Hey_Its_Roomie 6
Jakesnake42 6 Had a fun time comparing these Big 12 contemporaries as they both have shaky losses and some good wins. Both have wins over Arizona and TTU beat Houston while BYU beat ND. Normally would lean towards the ND win but that UCF loss looks dreadful after this week and TTU's wins aren't THAT far behind. Last Week: #12

Tornadohunter24 9 [7-1, 4-1 Big 12] (+1) | SOR: #17 | Notable Results: W 28-26 vs #16 Houston [6-2], L 24-37 @ Cincinnati [5-3], W 34-26 vs #20 Arizona [6-2] |

This past weekend, the Red Raiders managed to regroup themselves after a thrashing at the hands of the Bearcats to fend off a team with a different feline mascot: the upset-minded Arizona Wildcats, themselves a fringe contender for a trip to Arlington. McGuire's squad were up for the challenge, and secured themselves a crucial win. Now, there still exists a ton of uncertainty about their ability to repeat as Big 12 champions, for good reason - they have yet to play at a top level for all 4 quarters of a game, they still feel underpowered under center, and the trenches aren't quite what they were last year, with big losses defensively in particular. However, Texas Tech still looks like a solid pick for a participant in the final Big 12 game, and to count them out would be a fool's errand.

AoA_nB1 12 RR’s probably want a BYU loss this weekend? Not sure how the tiebreakers work, but they’ll probably need a CCG appearance to make the playoffs.
