TCU One of Seven Big 12 Bowl-Eligible Teams



TCU, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Texas, Iowa State, Baylor and Oklahoma State are the Big 12 Conference's 2018 bowl-eligible teams.

Texas Tech, Kansas State and Kansas did not qualify for a bowl.

The Horned Frogs' destination and matchup will be announced on Sunday, December 2.

The Big 12 has seven guaranteed bowl spots. Here is the 2018 Big 12 bowl-selection process:

College Football Playoff (CFP) Selection Process:
  • The College Football Playoff Selection Committee (CFP) ranks the top 25 teams and selects the four teams to participate in the semifinal games. After the contract bowls are filled based on conference agreements, the Committee will assign teams to fill the remaining New Year's 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 (Sugar, Rose or Cotton) if the contracted bowl is a semifinal game and the conference champion is not selected to participate in a semifinal game. The highest ranked champion from the Mountain West, American, Conference USA, Sun Belt or MAC is guaranteed a spot in a CFP bowl and the remaining spots are filled based on the rankings of teams after the contract bowls have been filled.

College Football Playoff Bowls:
  • Peach(Atlanta)
  • Fiesta(Glendale, AZ)
  • Orange (semifinal) (Miami)
  • Cotton (semifinal) (Dallas)
  • Rose (Pasadena)
  • Sugar (New Orleans)
  • CFP National Championship Game (Santa Clara, CA)

New Year's Contract Bowls:
  • Allstate Sugar: (Big 12 vs. SEC when Sugar is not a semifinal game)(New Orleans)
  • Rose: (Pac 12 vs. Big Ten when Rose is not a semifinal game) (Pasadena)
  • Capital One Orange: (ACC vs. highest ranked SEC/Big Ten non-champion or Notre Dame when Orange is not a semifinal game) (Miami)

Other New Year's Bowls:
  • Goodyear Cotton (Dallas)
  • Playstation Fiesta (Glendale, AZ)
  • Chick-fil-A Peach(Atlanta)

Big 12 CFP Contract Bowl Qualifier:
  • The Big 12 champion will earn the Conference's automatic berth for its CFP contract bowl slot. 

Additional Big 12 Teams in the CFP:
  • 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. 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.

Big 12 Bowl Partners:
 
Once the CFP has filled its bowl slots, Big 12 bowl partners will make selections from the remaining bowl-eligible teams. Following is the order of selection (a bowl may pick from any available teams when it reaches its spot in the selection order):
  • Valero Alamo (San Antonio)
  • Camping World (Orlando)
  • Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl (Houston)
  • AutoZone Liberty (Memphis)
  • Cheez-it (Phoenix)
  • Lockheed Martin Armed Forces (Fort Worth)
