Minnesota (6-6) vs. Texas Tech (7-5)
Minnesota coach Glen Mason entered the season on the hot seat, and shockingly, it may have cooled off. The Golden Gophers seemed dead in the water through October, finishing the month at 3-6 with wins over Kent State, Temple, and a game they should've lost against I-AA North Dakota State. They had been pretty much killed by Cal and in Big Ten play except for an OT loss against Penn State. Shockingly, Minnesota managed to make it to .500, going crazy against Indiana, and taking advantage of turnovers against Michigan State and Iowa. Still, they don't deserve to be here.
Texas Tech passes a lot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This year, it didn't work against Oklahoma, TCU, or shockingly, Colorado. They also lost an even game to Texas and had turnovers kill them against Missouri. And that's about Texas Tech in a nutshell.
Minnesota has the fifth-worst pass defense in the country. Sit back, enjoy, and wonder if the Red Raiders will get 70 points.
My Pick: Texas Tech
Confidence (out of 5): 3
