Three Questions for Week 6: Will Texas Tech avoid Willie Fritz's Trap?
Three questions for Week 6 across the Lone Star State as Arch Manning starts his first SEC road game and the high-flying Texas Tech Red Raiders face a trap game on the road against Willie Fritz's Houston Cougars.
The calendar flip to October signals that business is picking up for college football teams across the country as conference play intensifies. Eleven of the 13 FBS teams in Texas are in action during Week 6 and all of them face conference foes, some for the first time in 2025. UTEP and North Texas are idle.
Of the 11 teams in action, 10 are favorites. The only underdog is a Houston team that hosts Texas Tech. The Lone Star State is off to a strong start as a collective with a combined 37-19 record for our 13 programs. Take away the 1-8 combined record for UTEP and Sam Houston and the rest of the state is 36-11. Five of those losses are to fellow in-state FBS teams, so the combined record of the 11 Texas programs not in Conference USA against teams from outside the state is a staggering 31-6.
