Here's the latest bowl projections for Texas Tech.
Action Network:
Brett McMurphy of Action Network now has the Red Raiders heading to Alabama for the Birmingham Bowl to take on NC State. The Wolfpack are 5-5 on the season. Texas Tech and NC State last played during the 2022 season, a 27-14 win in Raleigh by the Wolfpack.
CBS Sports:
Jerry Palm of CBS Sports hasn't lost faith in the Red Raiders and their path to the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Palm still has Texas Tech headed to Orlando on Dec. 28 for a meeting with SMU. The Mustangs still have a path to the ACC Championship and the College Football Playoff.

ESPN:
The ESPN duo of Kyle Noagura and Mark Schlabach have different opinions on Texas Tech's bowl outlook. In their updated projections, Schlabach has the Red Raiders headed to Phoenix for a Dec. 26 matchup with Nebraska in the Rate Bowl. Bonagura has placed Texas Tech in the Texas Bowl taking on Texas A&M. Plenty of intrigue with both matchups. The Red Raiders and Aggies haven't played a football game against each other since 2011 while Joey McGuire's son Garrett is the wide receiver coach at Nebraska. Matt Rhule is the head coach of the Cornhuskers , who Joey worked under at Baylor.
