Not really a big fan of that the play off games are on NYE I'd much rather have them on NY
 
Gotta love the committee protecting Alabama, bumping OU gives them a much better matchup with MSU and they avoid playing OU in Dallas.

Gotta think that helps make the case for expansion. If Stanford hadn't lost to NW gotta think they may have been bumped not having a championship game. Big 12 slides for the second straight year after championship weekend.

Yikes! Big 12 could go 0fer.

These are all confirmed now except the Liberty Bowl which everyone is reporting will be confirmed soon.

I agree with cycfan1 - these matchups are awful for the Big 12. I think Oklahoma and TCU are the only teams that will win and the Big 12 will go 2-5. (Finishing 3-5 or 2-6 depending on OU in the national title game.)
 
That is a really tough line-up for Big XII teams. They better start getting healthy. Don't know how they drew the entire SEC-west. Think that Baylor can win if they get one QB back. WVU should be in a good position but they half want to fire the coach.
 
Finally, the one I have been waiting on. Akron vs. Utah State in da Potato Bowl.

West Virginia should beat Arizona State. Arizona State was supposed to run the Pac 12 this year and be their rep in the CFP - and they barely made it to this bowl.
