How did the Big 12 fare in the 2022 bowl season? To that end, College Football News also reported that the Big 12 will also have potential tie-ins with the Armed Forces Bowl and First Responder Bowl that could send league teams to play against opponents from the American Athletic, Conference USA or Pac-12 (Armed Forces) or ACC, AAC or Pac-12 (First Responder). That keeps in mind that the league will add BYU, Houston, UCF and Cincinnati this season to push conference membership to 14 teams for the 2023 season - it will drop to 12 the following year when Texas and Oklahoma leave for the SEC. “There will likely be more eligible Big 12 teams than set spots, so expect them to take up a few ESPN owned and operated bowl games,” College Football News wrote. Typically, the Big 12 champion plays in the Sugar Bowl if it’s not selected for the national semifinals, but this year the Sugar Bowl will host one of the CFP national semifinal games.
