Bowl tie-ins and placement was one of the downsides for BYU in independence, but they’ll have access to better bowl games as part of the Big 12.
The Big 12 has 9 bowl tie-ins, one of those being a NY6 bowl. The Big 12 traditionally gets an automatic spot in the Sugar Bowl versus the SEC, but with that being a semifinal this year, the Big 12 champ will get a spot in the Fiesta, Peach, or Cotton bowl (if the champion does not make the 4-team CFP).
Below are the 2023 Big 12 non-NY6 bowl tie-ins.
