At the Net
Texas Tech volleyball will host West Virginia tonight at 6:00 p.m. West Virginia has a 2-10 conference record, which is the same at Texas Tech and I’d hope that Texas Tech could get a win here. Later this week, they will also host Cincinnati on Friday night.
On the Gridiron
Texas Tech football is at No. 6 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. I am a firm believer that the Big 12 deserves at least 2 teams in the CFP.
ESPN’s David Hale makes the case that Texas Tech’s wins are dominant:
Texas Tech has played two top-13 teams now and beaten them by a combined score of 63-17. Georgia’s two best wins (vs. No. 7 Ole Miss and No. 23 Tennessee) came by a combined 11 points.
Texas Tech has a loss to Arizona State that looks bad on paper, but the Sun Devils actually profile well, and they won that game with a healthy Sam Leavitt. Surely that’s a better loss than Alabama’s defeat at the hands of slumping Florida State, right?
Yes, who you play matters, and in this case, Alabama (No. 4 SoR) and Georgia (No. 5) have had the tougher road. But how you play has to matter, too, and the Red Raiders have been far more dominant. Texas Tech has the second-best average in-game win probability in the country, trailing only Ohio State. Alabama’s is 17th. Georgia’s is 36th. Yes, credit to the Tide and Dawgs for winning close games. But more credit to Texas Tech for avoiding close games altogether.
CBS Sports’ Shehan Jeyarajah on his 72 hours in Lubbock for the BYU game. Very much worth your time and I am appreciative of Jeyarajah’s storytelling of Texas Tech this year, from Cody Campbell’s story to this past weekend.
