Texas Longhorns - English
Texas Tech Red Raiders - English
Heading into the 2025 college football season, there are clear favorites to make it to and win the College Football Playoff. Perhaps no team comes into the season with more eyes on it than the Texas Longhorns, even though they may not be the flat-out favorite to win it all. That’s thanks to Arch Manning, who has shined in his limited appearances.
There are certain games on the Longhorns’ schedule that will be circled. Of course, the season opener against the reigning champion Ohio State Buckeyes. Then there’s the regular season finale, against neighbor Texas A&M. But beyond the games, there are battles behind the scenes occurring with the Longhorns, the big schools and other teams in Texas. And the Longhorns may be falling slightly behind.

Texas Tech considered the college football team with most offseason hype
Carter Bahns of CBS Sports recently listed out the 12 teams across the nation who have generated the most buzz during this offseason. While the Longhorns appear on the list, it’s their in-state rivals, the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who topped it. Bahns had this to say about their offseason.

There is a new player in the NIL arms race as Texas Tech ramped up its spending across all sports, and nowhere was that more evident than in the football program. Seemingly out of nowhere, the Red Raiders built the nation’s second-ranked transfer portal class with 13 blue-chip additions — the most of any team in the country. The Big 12 is as wide open as any conference, and Joey McGuire’s squad is well-positioned to take advantage of the logjam and emerge as the league’s top College Football Playoff contender on the heels of its splashy offseason.
The Red Raiders have come in between 15-25 on most preseason Top 25 ranking lists. Much of those high rankings are simply due to their transfer portal and recruiting moves. In three seasons under head coach Joey McGuire, Texas Tech has gone 8-5, 7-6 and 8-5.
With quarterback Behren Morton back for a final season after showing marked improvement in 2024, the sky is the limit for the Red Raiders with all of their new additions. Texas Tech paid particular attention to the defense through the portal, as well as by hiring defensive coordinator Shiel Wood from the Houston Cougars.

Braves takeaways: After 14th loss in 17 games, manager and players still searching for answers
SAN FRANCISCO — If anyone was surprised to see the Atlanta Braves lose 4-3 Sunday to the San Francisco Giants, apparently they haven’t been watching the Braves play.Because lately, that’s what the Braves do: They lose, usually by one run.They have lost 14 of 17 games, their worst stretch since a 3-14 skid April 21-May 10, 2016. That was the week before Fredi González was fired and replaced by current manager Brian Snitker, who has helped develop a winning culture in Atlanta over the past seven years but is struggling mightily with this underperforming team and its flawed roster.AdvertisementThe Braves have a seven-game losing streak, matching the 0-7 skid they had to begin the season, the first time they’ve had multiple skids that long in a season since 2016.
