Texas Tech beats BYU for Big 12 title, likely CFP 1st-round bye

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Cameron Dickey scored right after the first of linebacker Ben Roberts' two interceptions in the second half as No. 4 Texas Tech won the Big 12 championship game, and almost certainly locked up a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff, with a 34-7 victory over No. 11th BYU on Saturday.
After investing millions of dollars in the transfer portal, the Red Raiders (12-1) have their first Big 12 title -- they are one of only six schools that have been part of all 30 Big 12 seasons. They also are going to the CFP for the first time, though their win prevented the Big 12 from getting a second team in the playoff.
