The committee put Texas Tech behind a team with 2 losses and 0 ranked wins. While Tech has 2 ranked wins and 1 loss. What are we doing

I have known Ben Arbuckle since he was my sons best friend as a five year old in Elgin, Tx. He is no doubt disappointed with how things turned out in Oklahoma. Ben will no doubt not only get better from this adversity but will become a stronger man as well. In this he will learn who his real fans and real friends truly are and will no doubt make a positive difference in young men and a football program somewhere soon! Love you Ben and love your family! 💥🤛🏻
Somewhere along the way, we have forgotten that football is a game, not a license to destroy another person’s dignity. In these situations firings happen but the level of social battering is sickening by fans who likely know very little about what they are talking about other than they are pissed about a result of a game.
The passion, loyalty, and pride we have for our teams are what make college football special. But when that passion turns into personal attacks, hateful comments, and the relentless slaughtering of coaches, players, and families on social media, we have lost sight of what really matters.
Behind every coach is a human being. Behind every player is a young person trying to grow, learn, and succeed. Behind every loss is someone who hurts far more than any keyboard warrior could ever understand.
You can criticize a performance without destroying a person. You can disagree without being cruel. You can love your team without hating someone else’s.
Winning football games is temporary. Character, compassion, and how we treat people are lasting.
If your team’s success requires you to celebrate another person’s humiliation, perhaps it is time to reevaluate what being a fan really means.
Let’s bring some humanity back to college football.
Be passionate about the game. Be respectful of the people. And never forget that football is supposed to bring us together, not make us forget how to treat one another.

Absolutely nothing is going to change at the head coach position at Texas Tech. Joey McGuire is a perfect fit for our program, everybody, with an opinion that matters, loves him. He isn’t going anywhere. If anything, we are ready, willing, and able to double down on him and this program. It’s more likely that he gets an extension and raise at the end of this year.
Long story short, this article is a ridiculous waste of time, but if you do feel compelled to write another one, please find a better picture of me!
Cody Campbell has poured millions into Texas Tech.
His reaction to last week's loss raised questions about Joey McGuire's future if expectations aren't met.
McGuire isn't on the hot seat, but two names with West Texas roots make sense if things do change.

Friendly reminder that Cincinnati broke the golden rule of college athletics and played a player who had gambled on his own games ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Texas and Steve Sarkisian took 2 of the highest rated QBs EVER to come out of high school. Turned one into a 7th round pick, and the other is on the cusp of losing his job.
TTU took a walk on QB and turned him into the fav to win DROY in the NFL. You gotta laugh.
Our open week came at the perfect time! We got the chance to getaway to Lubbock & see the Red Raiders in action! 1st chance to get back & watch a game since I was a student. What an awesome experience for our family! #WreckEm
🤣🤣🤣 more examples of why most of the time it’s best to just keep your focus on yourself, your own preparation and your teams’ process. #WreckEm

If only Sark played his 2's and 3's maybe he would've beaten Oklahoma or Florida 🤷♂️
NEW: Steve Sarkisian took a shot at Texas Tech while discussing how the College Football Playoff Committee factors strength of schedule👀
“There's a team in our state that plays in another conference that has a schedule that I would argue if I played with our twos and our threes, we could go undefeated, and they'll probably make the CFP this year.”

A D2 coordinator posted something that should scare every recruit reading this.
His school’s database held 50,000+ recruits for a single class.
One class.
One year.
50,000 names.
He can’t watch 50,000 highlight tapes.
Nobody can.
So he doesn’t try.
He eliminates.
Fast.
Every coach runs a checkbox system before he presses play on your film.
Checkbox 1 is size.
You can’t control height, but weight is 100% on you.
If you’re undersized for your position, every other box has to be perfect just to survive the cut.
Checkbox 2 is position need.
A coach can love your film and still cut you if he already took 3 quarterbacks in your grad year.
Zero room left.
That’s why sending 100 messages to one level is a losing bet.
Fire wide across every level.
Some staff has a hole at your spot right now.
Checkbox 3 is grades, and it’s the one most families ignore.
Below FBS, academic money stacks on top of athletic money.
A 3.5 GPA kid is cheaper to offer than a 2.5 GPA kid with the same exact film.
Talent gets you recruited.
Grades get you offered.
Aim for a 3.0 minimum, and know that 3.5+ often maxes your offer.
Check your NCAA core GPA, not your transcript number.
Core excludes PE and electives.
Floors are 2.3 for D1 and 2.2 for D2.
Checkbox 4 is your X profile.
When a coach hears your name, he searches X, not Google.
He gives you about 30 seconds to prove you’re worth the click.
A helmet photo, no measurables, and a bare Hudl link gets you cut before he ever opens your film.
Only after all of that does he reach checkbox 5: your first 5 plays.
A D1 recruiter and a director of player personnel both told me the same number.
30 seconds.
3 to 5 plays before he decides.
Order your best play first, because there is no later.
Notice the order here.
Size, position need, grades, X profile, then film.
Film is dead last.
Most recruits obsess over their highlight tape and fail every box that comes before it.
And here’s the part that flips this whole thing.
You can pass every single box and still get skipped, because he simply forgot you exist.
A coach needs to see your name about 7 times before it sticks.
One message is not a strategy.
It’s hope.
