Surprise Big 12 team sits atop current transfer portal rankings

If you were to ask a college football coach anonymously, they would probably tell you that the transfer portal has flipped the entire sport on its head.

However, if you encounter an optimist, they may tell you that players can finally control their destiny, and the portal has the potential to shorten the parity gap in the sport.

Whatever the case may be, some schools have a better angle at getting players out of the portal than others. Currently, the top team grabbing players out of the portal should come as a surprise to everyone in college football.

No, you don't need to schedule an eye exam; that is the Texas Tech Red Raiders are at the top of the transfer portal rankings.

According to On3 Sports, the Red Raiders have the current top spot in the transfer portal rankings. The rankings start and end with Big 12 teams, as Kansas sits at ten. However, the SEC has the most teams in the rankings, with five.
