Texas Tech Red Raiders
Losses (1): at Washington State, 37-16What’s left: Four of Tech’s final six opponents have a .500 or worse record and just one ranked team lies ahead (at Iowa State).
Why there’s hope: Tech is one of three one-loss Big 12 teams on this list. The league is a smorgasbord of parity. The one thing that separates the Red Raiders: their loss is out of conference. They remain undefeated in the league and with a path to the title game for an automatic bid. That Nov. 2 duel in Ames is a big one.
