The market resolves to Yes if Texas Tech qualifies for the 2026 College Football Big 12 Championship Game. It resolves to No if they do not qualify.

Readers often mistake the linked news story about Deion Sanders for the resolution criteria, but only the final playoff seeding matters.
- Texas Tech — the market puts it at 13%, with $387 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Jan 2027. Texas Tech must win the 2026 College Football Big 12 Championship Game for the outcome to be Yes.
