The first Power Four conference championship game matchup is set.
It will be Texas Tech vs. Brigham Young in the 2025 Big 12 championship game on Saturday, Dec. 6.
The matchup was determined before either team played their regular season finale on Saturday, Nov. 29 thanks to Arizona State losing to Arizona in the battle of the Territorial Cup the day prior. Both teams head into Week 14 with a 7-1 conference record, and while Utah is behind them at 7-2, the Red Raiders and Cougars each own the head-to-head matchup over the Utes to ensure their spots in the Big 12 title game.
It will be a first for whoever wins the Big 12 championship as both teams will be making their first appearance in the conference title game.
The winner of the Texas Tech vs. BYU will clinch the automatic spot to the College Football Playoff. Texas Tech is No. 5 in the most recent College Football Playoff rankings and BYU is No. 11.
They met in Week 11 earlier this season in Lubbock, with Texas Tech putting up a dominant defensive performance in a 29-7 win over the Cougars. Heading into Week 14, it’s the only game BYU has lost this season.
