Projected seed: 5
Texas Tech’s profile is anchored by impressive neutral-site wins over Wake Forest and LSU and a competitive road outing at Illinois that together show the team can beat quality opponents away from home, while a harsh neutral loss at Purdue serves as the glaring blemish that committees notice. Upcoming chances to erase that result are clear on the schedule with more neutral tests against Arkansas and Duke, tough road trips to Houston and Arizona, and high-visibility home dates with Kansas and Houston that could add the kind of résumé-boosting wins that matter. The committee will weigh those solid neutral victories and road credibility against the severity of the Purdue defeat, which is why the team currently occupies its present standing.
