With a loss by Arizona State on November 28, the Red Raiders clinched a berth in the Big 12 Championship Game, their first appearance in the game in program history. In the Big 12 Championship Game, Texas Tech defeated BYU 34–7 for the program's first Big 12 title and won their 12th game of the season, setting a school record for the most wins in a single season.[2] It was also their first conference title since winning a share of the Southwest Conference title in 1994, and their first outright title since winning the SWC in 1955.[3] The Big 12 Championship win also guaranteed the Red Raiders a first-round bye in the playoffs, where they would be defeated by Oregon in the Orange Bowl. All 12 of Texas Tech's regular-season wins and the Big 12 Championship Game had a margin of victory of more than three touchdowns.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders drew an average home attendance of 60,143, the 28th-highest of all college football teams.[4]
