(6) in the game with the Texas State Bobcats at Jones AT

3. Texas Tech Red Raiders

Record: 4-0 (1-0)

Previous Ranking: 4 (Trend: Up)

Last Week: Bye

This Week: at Kansas

Next Week: vs. Iowa State

In theory, things are starting to really line up for a fairy tale Red Raiders seasons.

Texas Tech, who has already benefited from an OSU loss, has three-straight games against Kansas, Iowa State, and West Virginia, who represent the bottom three teams in the conference. Win those games, and TTU is 7-0 heading into Norman, Oklahoma.

Baylor and OSU each have to travel to Lubbock, which should bode well for Tech.

A path is certainly there for Texas Tech to ride their momentum through a down Big 12 conference. Get a little bit more help, and that fair tale could turn into a reality for them.

But, of course, they need to beat Kansas first.
