Texas Tech has enjoyed one of its finest seasons in recent memory, emerging as College Football Playoff contenders amid a slew of Behren Morton and Cameron Dickey touchdowns.

The 12-1 Red Raiders found success in the Big 12, beating all comers — sans Arizona State — to earn a spot in the conference's title game. 

Texas Tech might not have the pedigree of other 2025 standouts like Ohio State and Georgia. But a balanced roster — spearheaded by presumptive first-rounder EDGE David Bailey — has the Red Raiders in position to splash come the start of the postseason.

With that, here's a look at where Texas Tech stands in the College Football Playoff bracket.
