Texas Tech, in each and every single one of its 11 wins this season, has looked really, really dominant. The Red Raiders aren’t perfect, as evidenced by that one, close road loss against the Arizona State Sun Devils while Texas Tech was playing its backup quarterback.
But in each of its 11 wins this year, Texas Tech has managed to go out and get a win by at least 22 points. The average margin of victory for the Red Raiders, across their 11 wins? That happens to be 35.2 points per game that they’re beating folks.
Joey McGuire and the Red Raiders should be incredibly impressed with just how dominant they are when they’re winning games. And Texas Tech’s latest win, a Week 14 shutout crushing of the West Virginia Mountaineers, is a great example of just how good this team can be in just about everything that it does.

The Red Raiders have one more opportunity to prove just how good they are prior to the start of the College Football Playoff. The Big 12 championship game against the No. 11 BYU Cougars is going to be fascinating as the last time these two teams met up, Texas Tech won by 22 points.
