Texas Tech football conjures up images of high-flying offenses, tortillas sailing through the fall air, Kamen Riders hurtling across the Jones Stadium turf, and some of the most colorful characters college football has ever seen.
The program has 597 total wins. This is the 70th highest number in the NCAA. The show also spent a total of 141 weeks in his AP poll, ranking him 62nd out of 131 FBS shows.
Along the way, the Red Raiders competed against some of the biggest programs in the country. However, there are some interesting programs where tech companies haven't been able to emerge victorious.
First, let's take a look at some non-Power-5 conference teams that Tech has never beaten. As you can see, some of these series were not played in modern sports where Texas Tech has become a major member of the conference.

When it comes to college football, one of the teams Tech has played recently is East Carolina. The only time these programs met was at the Galleryfurniture.com Bowl in Houston in 2000.
That year, Tech posted a 7-5 regular season record under first-year head coach Mike Leach. As a result, the Red Raiders, who failed to advance to the postseason the previous year, were forced to bowl.
But things didn't go well for Tech in the Galleryfurniture.com Bowl. In the 40-27 loss, Kliff Kingsbury threw for 307 yards and 4 TDs, but Tech fell into a big hole early and couldn't mount a comeback.
