Ken Paxton Now Favored Over James Talarico in Texas Senate Race

Wednesday May 27, 2026 (2:53 pm EDT)

Ken Paxton ranged anywhere from a decent favorite to a slight underdog in the race until President Trump endorsed him last week. After that endorsement, Paxton moved to a massive -2500 favorite and last night's results were exactly that.  The latest 2026 Midterm odds for the next Texas Senator to be elected have shifted, likely due to Paxton's easy victory.

NCAA Denies Texas Tech Quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s Request for 2026 Eligibility 

Wednesday May 27, 2026 (2:09 pm EDT)

The NCAA has denied Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s request for reinstatement this season, according to a Tuesday report from Pete Thamel of ESPN.  Sorsby was previously ruled permanently ineligible by the NCAA following investigations of his gambling activity, which included him betting on Indiana football games while a member of the Hoosiers’ program in 2022. Texas Tech president Lawrence Schovanec sent a letter Tuesday sharing the school’s intention to appeal the NCAA’s decision, citing the classification of gambling addiction as a “clinically recognized behavioral disorder.”

Brendan Sorsby Suspension Effect

  • Texas Tech’s odds opened at 14/1 to win the CFP. They went as low at 11/1.
    • They now sit at 25/1
  • Texas Tech’s win total went from 11 to 10.5
  • Texas Tech’s Big 12 Conference odds went from -160 to +105. The Red Raiders are still the favorite over BYU and Utah.
  • Sorsby’s Heisman odds opened at 18/1 and went as low as 14/1 (he’s now off the board).
  • His expected replacement, Will Hammond, is currently 200/1 to win the Heisman.
