Saturday afternoon, it appeared that the Texas Tech football team’s 40-31 loss to Iowa State had virtually eliminated the Red Raiders from the Big 12 football race. But by the end of Saturday night’s action, which provided yet another week of Big 12 chaos, there remained a path to the Big 12 title game for Kliff Kingsbury’s team.
Thanks to Oklahoma State’s 38-31 win over Texas Saturday night in Stillwater, every team in the league has at least one loss in conference play. Therefore, Texas Tech sits just one game back of the three teams atop of the Big 12 standings, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Texas.
