Texas Tech wins Big 12 title and likely first-round CFP bye with 34-7 win over Brigham Young

ARLINGTON, Texas – Cameron Dickey scored right after the first of linebacker Ben Roberts’ two interceptions in the second half as No. 5 Texas Tech won the Big 12 championship game, and almost certainly locked up a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff, with a 34-7 victory over 11th-ranked Brigham Young Saturday.

After investing millions of dollars in the transfer portal, the Red Raiders (12-1, No. 4 CFP) have their first Big 12 title — they are one of only six schools that have been part of all 30 Big 12 seasons. They are also going to the CFP for the first time, though their win prevented the Big 12 from getting a second team in the playoff.
