Utah’s 28-20 win over BYU in a top 10 matchup last week has had a trickle-down effect on the Big 12’s College Football Playoff and bowl hopes.

How has that close loss impacted the Cougars?

Visit somethingsdifferent.biz for more information.

In 11 national bowl projections released since the end of Week 10’s college football action, seven of them still have BYU as a CFP participant playing in the first round.

Four others, though, have the Cougars playing in the Alamo Bowl.

Defending Big 12 champion Texas Tech, after surviving a high-scoring thriller against West Virginia last week, is also receiving some CFP love, with four of those projections pinning the Red Raiders in the playoff.

Utah, meanwhile, is unanimously viewed as a CFP participant and likely to earn a first-round bye.

Seven of the 11 bowl projections, listed below, have the Utes as the No. 2 seed in the CFP and therefore earning an automatic bye in the quarterfinals.

Some even have projected Utah to make its way into either the CFP semifinals or the national championship game.

In a look at the Big 12 as a whole, there are currently seven teams in the league that are bowl eligible, with four others that could become bowl eligible this week by winning their sixth game this season.

One of those four teams is guaranteed to become bowl eligible this week, as the winner of Saturday’s Arizona State at UCF game will earn its sixth victory.

Here’s a look at the latest bowl projections for every Big 12 team following Week 10 of the 2026 season.
