The start to the postseason for the Big 12 went about as poor as any Power Five conference this year. In their first four games of bowl season, the teams representing the Big 12 went winless. It wasn’t until the Texas football program downed the No. 11 ranked Utah Utes in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 31 by the final score of 38-10 that the Big 12 even got their first win of the postseason.
The struggles for the Big 12 in the postseason all started out with the Oklahoma State Cowboys falling short against the Texas A&M Aggies in the Texas Bowl.
