The Alamo Bowl entered the weekend with four Big 12 schools in the mix for this year's matchup — an unusual circumstance brought on by recent realignment.
After No. 15 Arizona State , No. 16 Iowa State , No. 18 BYU and No. 23 Colorado finished in a four-way tie atop the Big 12 standings, the Valero Alamo Bowl will provide a final opportunity for two of them to settle the score. Entering Saturday’s conference championship games, the Alamo Bowl was targeting four current Big 12 adversaries as the most likely participants — an unusual circumstance brought on by the most recent wave of realignment.
“Yes, these will be all four teams in the Big 12, but for the most part, most of them did not play one another,” Fox said. “These are all new conferences and new matchups, so there’s some newness from that perspective.” Arizona State’s victory in the Big 12 title game left Colorado as the clear top choice from the former Pac-12 pool, with BYU and championship game loser Iowa State in the mix for the Big 12 spot.
