Red Raiders Repeat? Big 12 Betting Odds Released - roundtable.io
Texas Tech football is already the early favorite to repeat as Big 12 champions.
Last season, Tech absolutely dominated opponents, securing the program's first Big 12 title in unforgettable fashion. This surprising high ranking comes despite Coach Joey McGuire's squad losing a school-record nine NFL Draft picks and several other key departures. They solidified their spot in the conference pecking order, making a serious statement to anyone watching from the stands at Jones AT&T Stadium or tailgating on Marsha Sharp Freeway.
For fans across the South Plains, these early odds mean sky-high expectations for the upcoming fall season. It keeps the high energy from last year's historic run going strong, fueling conversations at local spots from the Depot District to South Plains Mall. This vote of confidence suggests McGuire has built a lasting culture. People will be planning their fall Saturdays around this team with renewed excitement.
No Big 12 team has repeated as outright champions since 2017, making Tech's early favoritism quite a statement.
