Wow…they love TTech don’t they…maybe rightfully so. Interesting that the recent success of KSU, KU, AND Utah isn’t noticed.
Tech is like solar power... this is the year! And then it doesn't quite get there.

They will have a ton of talent, but I am NOT sold on Joey at all. If they don't make the CCG (or dang close) with all the $$ they've spent, Joey will get rolled out.

23 is pretty bad. Considering this team came off an 11 win season and returns a vast majority of players, we should be ranked somewhere in the 10-15 range to start off the season.

The schedule gets tougher and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

ISU wasn't quite 'Fake ID' level last year but they were a good/not great team that didn't beat any real good teams.

Get used to seeing TTech in top 25 (even top 10) in the three main sports (football, men's and women's basketball) given that they are putting top 10 NIL $'s at all three sports. They (and BYU) represent the "buy a championship" aspect of college sports. Of course, all college teams do, including ISU. TTech just takes it to the next level.

Tech has the deepest pockets in the Big 12.....the way BYU spends money though is also pretty crazy

Illinois at #9? Did I miss something? When did Illinois become adequate at football, much less actually good?

Edit: didn't realize they won 10 games last year, with a 6-3 conference record. But it should be noted their six conference wins came against teams that finished with a combined 17-37 conference record and beat Purdue at home in OT
