Big 12 Team Left in Dust Again as Texas Tech Suffers Humbling Defeat

The Texas Tech Red Raiders’ latest College Football Playoff elimination has left many questioning the conference’s ability to compete at the highest level. The team’s blowout loss, coupled with their overall poor playoff performance, serves as a stark reminder of the struggles faced by the Big 12 in recent years. With several high-profile programs failing to make an impact in the coveted six-team playoff spots, the power conferences’ efforts to expand the field appear to be little more than a cosmetic adjustment. The true challenge lies in establishing a consistent and competitive presence on the national stage, which the Big 12 still struggles to achieve. As the College Football Playoff continues to grow in popularity and prestige, the conference’s inability to deliver results will only further erode its reputation as a force to be reckoned with in college football. With each passing season, the pressure mounts on the Big 12 to prove itself worthy of inclusion among the nation’s elite.
