Joey McGuire's Texas Tech team reached new heights on Saturday, as the program captured its first Big 12 Championship with a decisive 34-7 victory over the BYU Cougars. And while an emotional McGuire, who was moved to tears in the waning moments of the Red Raiders' victory, took plenty of time to take in the moment, he also had something else on his mind when it was time to head to the podium for his postgame press conference.
McGuire made a case for BYU, who was ranked 11th in the College Football Playoff entering play Saturday, to remain among the 12-team field when the selection committee releases its final rankings on Sunday.
