Mailbag: WVU gauge, Texas '13, TCU/Tech
Jay in Midland, Texas, writes: David, man it is hard to get any love from you for Texas Tech! You placed TT behind TCU in the post season power rankings? Tech shared the same conference record, beat them at Amen Carter, Tech ended the season with a better overall record and a bowl win.. Yet you see it fit to place TCU at number 5? Although I definitely agree with your top 3, I still have to say... Come on man!
DU: Let's rehash Texas Tech's finish the final six games of the season: It lost four games and needed overtime at home to beat a team that went 1-11 and 0-9 in Big 12 play. It won its bowl game, but did so against a terrible Big Ten team as a double-digit underdog, and only won when it picked off a pass on a prospective game-winning drive.
TCU had to play four consecutive ranked teams to end the regular season, and managed wins over two of them. Its two losses were to the co-Big 12 champions, including a loss on the final play to Oklahoma. If the Frogs' offense had been better, it would have been in the mix of both of those games. It dominated Michigan State for three quarters before coughing up a game it absolutely should have won.
The gap between the two isn't enormous, but there's no doubt in my mind that TCU would beat Texas Tech right now.
