SALT LAKE CITY – Nine teams in the Big 12 are now bowl-eligible, and two other teams need just one win this week.

Kansas will need a win over Baylor, while Cincinnati will need one over TCU to become bowl-eligible.

In our Big 12 Bowl Projections this week, changes continued after another wild weekend.

West Virginia won its sixth game, a 31-21 victory over UCF, and became the ninth bowl-eligible team.

Kansas’s 37-21 win over Colorado was the big surprise of the weekend. The Jayhawks will need a win over Baylor next weekend to secure their bowl bid.

Meanwhile, the BYU-Arizona State game did not disappoint in terms of entertainment value but added to the big shake up this week.

Looking ahead, Cincinnati can get to bowl-eligible if they get a win over TCU this next weekend.

However, with a four-way tie for the Big 12 title game, the results among the top four will significantly alter bowl projections next week.

College Football Playoff

With Colorado and BYU losing, Arizona State and Iowa State now appear to be the top two contenders for the Big 12’s playoff bid.

The SEC’s madness helped the Big 12 and all other conferences. Oklahoma upset Alabama, Florida defeated Ole Miss, while Auburn knocked off Texas A&M, drastically altering the playoff picture.

The ACC and Big 12 have a team in the first four out. In the Mountain West, Boise State continues to take care of business and seemed set to get a first-round bye.

Oregon and Texas continue to have a death grip on the 1st and 2nd seeds in the CFP.
