The 2024-25 Big 12 Conference Bowl Schedule

The Big 12 Conference Bowl tie-ins and schedule

WVU Football / Christopher Hall

Thursday afternoon, the 2024-25 College Football Bowl schedule was released.

The Big 12 has six bowl tie-ins, Valero Alamo Bowl, Pop Tarts Bowl, TaxAct Texas Bowl, AutoZone Liberty Bowl, Guaranteed Rate Bowl, and Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl and, in addition, the Big 12 Champion will receive an automatic bid and a first-round round bye to the conference champion in the new 12-team College Football Playoff format.

There is, however, a new wrinkle in bowl affiliation for the next two seasons. According to Brett McMurphy of the Action New Network, bowl games that were affiliated with the Pac 12 Conference, the Holiday Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Sun Bowl, Los Angeles Bowl, and Independence Bowl, will have their choice from Pac 12 “legacy members” along with Oregon State and Washington State to fill out the remaining contract through the 2025 season.

The Big 12 Conference added Arizona, Colorado, Arizona State and Utah to the league last summer while the Big 10 poached Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC as the first domino to fall and the ACC threw a lifeline and accepted Cal and Standford as Washington State and Oregan State are grasping to keep the Pac 12 alive.
