Is everyone ready for Texas Tech to be a major player in the Big 12 race and a strong contender for the College Football Playoff?
As well as beating Arizona at home, it also beat Arizona State and beat a good Cincinnati team in a shootout. Along with Iowa State and Oklahoma State, three of the next four games are away from home.
2- 4 is not as good as Baylor.
Yes, you are what your record says you are, but Colorado was very tough and BYU had to make a miracle play to lose. But the 43–21 loss to Iowa State can not be the end of the 2024 season.
The Bears need to win this game to stop their poor run. Their next two games are at home against Oklahoma State and TCU.

Texas Tech (5-1), Baylor (3-3)
Why Baylor Will Win
There is still fighting on the defense.
There may have been issues against Iowa State, but it is still doing a great job of holding on third downs. The run defense was strong before last week’s loss; now it needs to hold up and let the passing game do its thing.
Baylor has thrown eight touchdowns in the last three games and nearly 600 yards in the last two.
With over 300 yards given up every game, Texas Tech’s pass protection is one of the worst in the country.
Why Texas Tech Will Win
Baylor’s passing game is not very good.
It looks like this will be a battle with a lot of big plays in the air. No one can miss. The Bears are 0-4 when they do not finish at least 60% of their passes, but they are 2-0 when they do.
There are good and bad things about this: the Red Raiders give up a lot of big plays, but only one FBS team (Cincinnati) was able to get to 60%.
Texas Tech vs Baylor: Who Will Win
Bears fans have been waiting a long time for something good to happen, but their offense will not be strong enough to get the big win.
It is likely that Texas Tech will give up yards, but they will also keep the ball a little longer and make stops when they need to in the second half.
