Texas Tech Claims No. 12 Spot In New College Football Poll - KFYO

This ranking immediately cranks up excitement for students walking down Memorial Circle and season ticket holders across town, generating palpable anticipation for the upcoming seasons kickoff at Jones AT&T Stadium. Businesses around the South Plains Mall and along 19th Street will likely see increased foot traffic and spending from energized fans attending home games, boosting local commerce and visibility. Lubbock is now squarely on the map for national college football discussions, drawing more attention and visitors to our city.

Only one other Tech team has ever started a season higher in the AP Poll, way back when disco was still spinning on turntables.
