Big 12 football bowl projections after Week 4 results
Every Big 12 team's bowl projections after Week 4. Colorado is heading in the wrong direction.
Week 4 marked a turning point for several Big 12 teams. Cincinnati remained undefeated, West Virginia lost for the first time, and BYU emerged as the conference favorite. Meanwhile, Utah secured a playoff berth, leaving them out of the postseason. ESPN, USA TODAY Sports, and CBS Sports released their updated bowl projections, with some notable differences.
Texas Tech was widely projected to play in the Alamo Bowl against UCLA, while BYU was seen as the clear-cut choice for the College Football Playoffs. Only Colorado and Kansas were not projected to secure a bowl game by any analyst. CBS was the sole outlet that included Iowa State in their bowl projections. Colorado's struggles continued, as they lost to Northwestern and Baylor, raising questions about their future.
Texas Tech's bowl chances appeared bleak, but they still had a shot at the Alamo Bowl. UCF Knights, Baylor Bears, Arizona State Sun Devils, and Houston Cougars all had plausible playoff paths based on their remaining schedules. BYU was projected to secure the No. 7 or No. 9 seed in the College Football Playoff, facing Florida or Alabama. TCU grappled with two losses and a troubled roster, making their playoff chances uncertain.
