Texas Tech aims for a top-four College Football Playoff seed and first-round bye by winning the Big 12 title after an 11-1 season and eight conference wins.
- On Sunday, Texas Tech moved to No. 5 in the AP Top 25 as the Red Raiders advanced to the Big 12 title game for the first time.

- At 11-1, Texas Tech has matched a program record and set new conference highs with eight Big 12 wins; they are only the sixth team in 100 years to win 11 regular-season games by 20-plus points.
