Today we're headed back to a great era of Big XII football for a top 10 matchup between #1 Texas and #7 Texas Tech played on November 1, 2008. 

The Longhorns, led by Colt McCoy, were on the back end of a four-game stretch against top 11 teams and had to travel to Lubbock. The Red Raiders were putting together one of the great offensive seasons of all-time under Mike Leach thanks to Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree.

You won't find many atmospheres more electric than the west Texas crowd inside Jones AT&T Stadium that night. It was Texas Tech's opportunity to move into the national championship conversation officially and College Gameday was on hand for the first time. 

Here are some of the things we'll discuss:

• The 2008 BCS Rankings
• 3 Heisman contenders
• Peak Big XII football
• The rosters on both sides
• Best Big XII receiver in 2008
• College Gameday guest picker
• Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit
• Dominate performance up front by Tech
• A huge dropped INT that changes the entire season
• This was days before the 2008 election
