Doege was born in San Angelo, Texas, to Randy and Melinda Doege. He has one younger brother. Randy Doege coached at several high schools in West Texas before becoming the head coach at Crane High School in 2003. In his freshman season, 2004, Seth Doege was the starting quarterback for Crane High School and led the Golden Cranes to the area round of the playoffs, a loss to the (Tuscola) Jim Ned Indians, who were led by senior quarterback Colt McCoy. In 2005, his sophomore year in high school, Doege led the Cranes to a 13–1 record (9–1 regular season, plus three playoff wins) before Crane fell to Childress in the class 2A Region I championship game. After attending quarterback camps during the summer before his junior year, Doege was recruited heavily by several major universities, including the University of Florida, the University of Oklahoma, and Purdue University.{{cite web|url=https://n.rivals.com/|title=Rivals|website=n.rivals.com}}

Doege transferred to (Wolfforth) Frenship High School before his junior year of high school, but during August workouts, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in one of his knees and was sidelined for the 2006 high school season. He tore the ACL in his other knee in the summer of 2007, missing his senior high school season. Despite the injuries, Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach honored the school's earlier 2006 offer of a scholarship, and Doege signed his letter of intent to play for the Red Raiders in February 2008.{{cite web|title=Player bio|url=http://www.texastech.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/doege_seth00.html|publisher=Texas Tech University|access-date=September 19, 2011}}

As a sophomore at Crane High School, Doege threw for 2,439 yards with 27 touchdowns against only four interceptions. He also ran for 526 yards and three touchdowns on just 78 carries.{{cite web|url=https://n.rivals.com/|title=Rivals|website=n.rivals.com}}

Doege accepted a football scholarship from Texas Tech as part of the 2008 recruiting class. He spent the 2008 season as a redshirt player, seeing no action. He saw limited action in the 2009 and 2010 seasons, though he did start for the Red Raiders in an October 31, 2009, victory against Kansas because of injuries to starting quarterback Taylor Potts and backup Steven Sheffield. Doege completed 14 of 28 passes for 159 yards and one touchdown in the Kansas game.{{cite news|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore?gameId=293042641|work=ESPN.com|title=Box score Texas Tech 42, Kansas 21|date=October 31, 2009}} Doege also threw for 68 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter of Tech's 66–14 win over Kansas State in 2009.{{cite news|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore?gameId=292832641|work=ESPN.com|title=Box score Texas Tech 66, Kansas State 14|access-date=October 15, 2012}}

Doege became Texas Tech's starting quarterback in 2011. He set a Division I (NCAA) record for the highest completion percentage of quarterbacks throwing 40 or more completions in a game, completing 40-of-44 passes (90.9%) during the September 17, 2011, game against the New Mexico Lobos.{{cite web|last=Ubben|first=David|title=Tech's Doege sits after record-breaking day|date=September 17, 2011 |url=https://www.espn.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/33841/techs-doege-sits-after-record-breaking-day|publisher=ESPN|access-date=September 19, 2011}} The completion record was previously held by Kliff Kingsbury, another Texas Tech quarterback, who completed 49-of-59 for an 83% completion percentage.{{cite news|last=Just|first=David|title=Doege sets NCAA completion record as Red Raiders rout Lobos|url=http://lubbockonline.com/sports-red-raiders-football/2011-09-17/doege-sets-ncaa-completion-record-red-raiders-rout-lobos|access-date=September 19, 2011|newspaper=Lubbock Avalanche-Journal|date=September 17, 2011}} Doege also tied the school record set by Taylor Potts for consecutive pass completions by completing 15 in a row during the same game.
