Texas Tech wins Big 12 title and likely first-round CFP bye with 34-7 win over BYU
Texas Tech’s 34-7 win over No. 11 BYU earned their first Big 12 title and likely a College Football Playoff first-round bye, ending BYU’s playoff hopes, officials said.
- On Dec. 6, 2025 Texas Tech defeated BYU Cougars 34-7 at AT&T Stadium, Arlington to win the Big 12 championship game.
- As a Big 12 member since 1996, Texas Tech Red Raiders had never reached the title game and hadn’t won an outright conference crown since 1955 despite transfer portal investments.
- Tech's defense forced four turnovers and won the turnover battle 4-0, producing 14 points, while Texas Tech linebacker Ben Roberts set a Big 12 record with two interceptions.
- The win secures Texas Tech’s spot in the College Football Playoff and almost certainly a top-four seed with a first-round bye, likely advancing them to quarterfinals on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.
- BYU looks likely to be left out of the 12-team playoff despite an 11-2 record, as Alabama, Notre Dame and Miami dominate the at-large conversation ahead of Sunday’s rankings.
