Big 12 Week 3 bowl projections: Texas Tech on the rise

Not much movement in the Big 12 bowl projections this week.

Texas Tech leapfrogs Texas on the strength of its win at Arkansas. Baylor remains as the College Football Playoff representative as TCU’s top defenders continue to get blindsided by the injury bug, with top cornerback Ranthony Texada the latest casualty.

Oklahoma State looked good in an easy win over UTSA, Oklahoma cemented its spot as No. 3 in the queue thanks to Baker Mayfield, and West Virginia holds off Texas Tech during its bye week. Kansas State, meanwhile, will have to make major strides to secure a bowl berth, but if anyone can do it, Bill Snyder can.
