Well, the Texas Tech Red Raiders are truly one of the best teams in the Big 12 in so many different ways. The Red Raiders have one of the best offenses and one of the best defenses and they’re currently tied for third in the Big 12 standings at 7-1 overall and 4-1 against Big 12 teams.
They score a lot of points! They keep opposing teams from scoring a lot of points! And the Red Raiders are winning games as a result.
But it’s interesting. Texas Tech has the No. 1 scoring offense in the Big 12 when you look at every game that has been played this season. When you just look at things happening against Big 12 teams? Well, the Red Raiders rank second in the conference.

I continue to be absolutely fascinated by what the Cincinnati Bearcats are doing this year. It truly is a remarkable thing to see a team that was so overlooked in the offseason come into the season and absolutely thrive in such an efficient and effective way.
I don’t know how far Cincinnati can go down the stretch of this season, but the fact that they’re currently the top scoring offense in the conference is truly a fun thing to watch.
