I love how now that NIL is a thing there is information getting out about how the big programs have been paying players all along, just like we all suspected. Coach O has been out there dishing dirt, Johnny Manziel, and several others.

Well, there is a non-zero chance that Texas Tech could win the CFP.  In some ways the A&M-Tech rivalry is every bit as heated as the A&M-Texas rivalry.  Recall the 2001 classless clown game, pirate beats a soldier quote, and countless others. We were 6-10 vs Tech in Big 12 days. Now I don’t think anyone is naive to think that from 2012-2025 Tech was as good as 1990’s to 2010 Tech, or whenever Leach left. But safe to say, there is no love lost between our programs.

All that said, even if it would sting if Tech wins it all, at least it would signal that real change is happening for all the “not a blue blood” programs.
would be great if Tech was on the other side of the bracket from the Hoosiers
Tech vs Indiana for the tile would be glorious

Anybody besides Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, OU, Texas, Florida, and about 4-5 other programs that we’ve seen over the past 25-30 years. I would almost say Nebraska except they’ve had such a rough 20 or so years, maybe more like 10-15 that I wouldn’t lump them in that group.
