Texas Tech vs West Virginia was a game I had scheduled back before the season as a potential play-in game for the Big 12 Conference Championship game. More so on Texas Tech’s end admittedly, but I thought West Virginia would be in the mix with a shot at glory on Thanksgiving weekend.
While that is technically true still and both teams could finish with a 6-3 Big 12 record I don’t think either team’s fan base feels like they lived up to potential this season. West Virginia didn’t beat either rival in their non-con and have had an up and down conference season to finally clinch bowl eligibility last week.
The Red Raiders have two wins over CFP ranked teams that are the most likely participants in the championship game in Arizona State and Iowa State, but a blown 17-point loss to TCU, and home losses to Baylor and Colorado have kind of taken the shine off a potential 8-4 season.
