What is the difference between Big 12 and Pac 12?
The Pac-12 has more star power, with USC, Oregon and Washington. But the Big 12 has OSU and TCU, and if Cincinnati, Central Florida and BYU can maintain their upward trends, the Big 12 won’t be that far behind the Pac-12. The Big 12 still has problems, most of them financial, some of them perceptual.

How many teams can be placed in a CFP bowl?
There is not a limit on the number of teams from one conference that can be placed in CFP bowls. Additional Big 12 teams may be selected for other CFP New Year’s bowls based on their ranking in the final CFP Poll. Once the CFP has filled its bowl slots, Big 12 bowl partners will make selections from the remaining Conference teams.
What are the contract bowls?
Each conference champion from the contract bowls (ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC & Pac 12) has a guaranteed spot in its contracted bowl or in another New Year’s bowl (Peach, Fiesta or Cotton) if the contracted bowl is a semifinal game and the conference champion is not selected to participate in a semifinal game.
How does the CFP work for the Big 12?
The Big 12 champion will earn the Conference’s automatic berth for its CFP contract bowl slot. If a Big 12 team (s) is rated in the top four of the CFP, it will play in one of the semifinals. This does not affect the Big 12 designee being placed in a CFP New Year’s Bowl if it is not one of the top four teams.
