All 21 points in the Final AP Poll for 4-6 Texas Tech came from a single #5 vote that was probably intended for Texas A&M. Wouldn't have pushed Texas A&M ahead of #3 Clemson in the final standings, but would have closed the gap a bit.
The 21 points in the final AP Poll that Texas Tech accidentally finished the season with is identical to the 21 points that Pac-12 Champion and Fiesta Bowl participant Oregon had.
Here's the apparently erroneous ballot for inspection, missing Texas A&M but is the only ballot with Texas Tech (two schools that love being mistaken for one another): apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-…
Assuming they play at Milliy Stadium in Tashkent, Uzbekistan that is a 13,422 mile round trip. Milliy Stadium is used by the Uzbekistan National Team and FC Bunyodkor for soccer. Seats ~34,000 which would be much easier for the Huskers to fill and continue their sellout streak.
