New Big 12 year one for football
Short Answer: Not great, Bob
Looking over ESPNs projections
First-round byes
No. 1 Oregon (Big Ten champ)
No. 2 Texas (SEC champ)
No. 3 Miami (ACC champ)
No. 4 Boise State (Mountain West champ)
First-round games
On campus, Dec. 20 and 21
No. 12 BYU (Big 12 champ) at No. 5 Ohio State
No. 11 Georgia at No. 6 Penn State
No. 10 Ole Miss at No. 7 Indiana
No. 9 Alabama at No. 8 Notre Dame
Going into the final stretch, only one Big 12 team projected in the 12 team bracket, basically whoever wins the Big 12 Championship game. BYU is just the current place saver.
What’s worse, you’re not even gonna be one of the 4 first round bye games. The Mountain West is higher ranked than you lol
And to compound it even more… there’s still a chance that the Big 12 doesn’t get in the CFP at all…

BASEBALL: Emptying The Notebook: Post-Fall Baseball Report pres. by Prosper Energy Management

Wanted to come in here and talk about some baseball, something that I frankly have not done a good enough job to cover this fall, but I got out to the stadium and watched quite a bit of baseball over the last few weeks, so let's jump into it.
-From a lineup perspective, the overall theme of this team is going to be the versatility and depth. Tech will have the option to play quite a bit of different players at different positions. Tech will have plenty of that in the infield with Peyton Schulze, Robin Villenueve and TJ Pompey making up the majority of the corner spots. Damian Bravo has played a bit of 2B this fall and Tracer Lopez seems like a lock to be your SS in February.
-Also think that Bravo might get sent back to the OF based on how JUCO INF Antonelli Savatterre was swinging the bat. Just very strong bat to ball ability, gap to gap and a strong ability to run. I would be pretty surprised if he can't carve out a place in the lineup.
-In the OF, I think the conversation will largely revolve around Kyeler Thompson, a JUCO transfer out of Galveston, who has continually hit well throughout the fall and has been a pretty impressive defensive CF, taking good routes and having strong but not stellar athleticism to run down balls. Freshman Kendyl Johnson has a similar conversation to me, but is almost the opposite. Johnson flashed some extreme athleticism in the OF during the fall, but to me was continually making things harder on himself with his routes to the balls in the OF, but had the athleticism to make up for it. Leaning to Thompson in CF.
-Stetson transfer OF Logan Hughes and C Davis Rivers came along late in the fall, thought both swung the bat really well in the Red & Black series and I think that both will provide really strong options against RHP next season.
-Finally offensively, I think that Tech's best defensive catcher this fall was Hudson Parker, who is no longer on the mound, and mixed in at first base quite a bit. His arm was very, very strong and he cut down a few runners, something that Tech seemed to do quite a bit more. Think we might see some more running on the bases.
-On the mound, it was tough sledding at times in the R&B series, however, it's tough for those guys at this point since they're so exposed to the hitters and it's not really indicative of what it will look like.
-The Red Raiders arms that came in from JUCO seem to be really, really strong. I am a big fan of JT Drake, who had a good outing late last week. I also like Johnny Lowe, who sat topped out at 93 in game two.
-The ones that were impressive we're the freshmen, who might have a chance to get on the mound this year. Connor Mohan got up to 96 this fall and was really strong in his two outings. Also was a fan of Jorden Espinoza and Jackson Burns, two of your higher rated freshman arms, both looked good. Also thought the local kid Logan Addison was solid in his outings, just is gonna take a bit of time with the jump in competition.
-Heuer was up to 96 and struggled in his second outing, don't think it was major, but the stuff was live. You need him to be what we expect him to be this season. Also of note that Zane Petty was back on the mound a bit and is still working back in his rehab. Would be a big addition to this staff if he can get back to freshman form.
-The portal arms were solid. Cebert has some really strong stuff and is kind of funky from a mechanics perspective. Really think that he will slot into the rotation. Crotchfelt and Bevis were also solid in their outings. Really feels like there's some more depth with the arms this year, hopefully it comes to fruition.

SPITBALLIN' Final Buzzer Feeling: Arkansas-Pine Bluff pres. by Open Door Financial Advisors
- By J. Apodaca

That was a win versus one of the worst teams in the nation. Good to get it done before you hop on a cross-country flight to Brooklyn tomorrow. Let’s jump into some thoughts.
Darrion Williams, The Savior: This was an ugly first half from the Red Raiders despite the scoreline, and Williams was the major bright spot for Tech. With 14 points on 6/8 shooting, Williams was one of the only answers for Tech against the Pine Bluff zone, that was giving Tech fits throughout.
Toppin, others, struggle vs. the zone: As mentioned above, the Red Raiders struggled to find answers versus the zone, and the Red Raiders struggles from deep didn’t help matters. UAPB did a nice job of mixing it up and it gave Tech some fits early. Tech found some rhythm offensively and eventually was able to create some separation.
Red Raiders still searching for defensive answers: Tech’s defensive ability was once again a struggle against the Golden Lions, allowing dribble penetration and easy buckets on back-cuts at times. Obviously not what you’re looking for on the heels of a strong showing against Wyoming last week, but it’s got to improve later in the week. Also thought that Tech wasn’t great on the defensive boards, but the numbers don’t really reflect that.
McMillian showing strides: Chance has continued to show strides. I think he has been Tech’s best off-ball guard through four games this year. He’s always been athletic and he has improved from an offensive standpoint, able to create his own shots and score going downhill, a very welcome development from last season.
Overton with his best showing as a Red Raider: Was impressed with Overton’s shot tonight. Felt like he shot the ball the best he has to this point while being able to play some solid defense on the night. I think his ceiling is pretty high, so I’m hopeful he can continue to improve as the season rolls along.
Obviously not a ton of conclusions drawn against this level of competition, and it didn’t feel like Tech played very well but got a massive result. Odd one, kind of as expected, hopefully Tech can look a little sharper against St. Joe’s on Thursday.
