College football’s bowl season is here.

From the College Football Playoff to the corporate-sponsored exhibitions featuring non-conference matchups all across the sport, this winter will certainly have no shortage of football action.

The Big 12 in particular has a very busy bowl season ahead. No. 4 Texas Tech will play in the CFP quarterfinal at the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1 and represents the league’s only chance of a national champion this season. However, seven other Big 12 teams will be playing in bowl games, beginning with No. 12 BYU on Dec. 27 in the Pop-Tarts Bowl.

Here's a look at all the Big 12 bowl games this year, including results of how the conference's teams performed:

BYU vs. Georgia Tech in the Pop-Tarts Bowl has a chance to be one of the best matchups of the bowl season, depending on who ends up suiting up for each team, of course. Arizona and SMU is another under the radar contest to keep an eye on in the Holiday Bowl.

Texas Tech, meanwhile, with its stifling defense, has an opportunity to make some noise in the playoff and potentially play for a national championship. Not many Red Raiders fans could have imagined being in this position following an 8–5 season a year ago, but added NIL investment into the roster has paid dividends for the 12–1 conference champions.
