Overview

• The Alamo Bowl will feature a rare in-conference matchup between Big 12 teams Colorado (9-3) and BYU (10-2), scheduled for Dec. 28 in San Antonio.
• Deion Sanders, Colorado's head coach, emphasized that star players Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter will participate despite their high NFL draft stock.
• Travis Hunter, a two-way player and Heisman Trophy favorite, and Shedeur Sanders, a top quarterback prospect, are expected to draw significant attention to the game.
• This marks the first meeting between the two teams since 1988, with both finishing tied for first in the Big 12 regular season but missing the conference championship due to tiebreakers.
• The Alamo Bowl operates under an agreement pairing Big 12 teams with legacy Pac-12 teams, explaining the unusual conference matchup.
