Following the events that took place on championship Saturday, the Texas Longhorns know their bowl appearance and the opponent.
The Big 12 Conference will have two teams represented in the New Year’s Six bowl games: the Oklahoma Sooners and Iowa State Cyclones were selected. The Longhorns, being the next team in the standings, will once again head to the Valero Alamo Bowl.
The opponent will be a familiar one, the Pac-12’s Colorado Buffaloes. They left the Big 12 for the Pac-12 following the 2011 season. These two teams have met 18 times over the years. This is the first bowl matchup between the two since the 1975 Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl game. The Longhorns won that matchup 38-21.
This is the fourth time the Longhorns will have played in the Alamo Bowl since 2012 and fifth overall. They are 3-1 in their previous matchups. The lone loss came against Oregon in the 2013 Alamo Bowl game. Under head coach Tom Herman, Texas has only played one bowl game outside the state of Texas when they played the Georgia Bulldogs in the AllState Sugar Bowl in 2018.

In the 2018 installment, a College Football Playoff semifinal, Alabama fired out to a 28-0 lead, setting an Orange Bowl record with 21 first-quarter points. However, the Sooners hung around and were able to find the end zone late for a backdoor cover, helping underdogs to a 5-1 ATS mark across the past six Orange Bowls. The Sooners also made a stop inside the red zone in the final minute, as a majority of bettors hung on for the 'under' result.
