Teams
editBased on conference tie-ins, the game will feature teams from the Big 12 Conference and the Pac-12 Conference legacy pool. The Alamo Bowl gets the first selection of Big 12 teams not competing in the College Football Playoff[4] and the first selection from the Pac-12 legacy pool—that is, teams that were members of the Pac-12 during the 2023 season.[5]
On December 4, bowl organizers announced that four teams remained under consideration for the Alamo Bowl: Iowa State and BYU from the Big 12, and Arizona State and Colorado from the Pac-12 legacy pool.[6] As both Arizona State and Colorado became Big 12 members in 2024, the announcement made it likely that the Alamo Bowl would feature an unusual bowl matchup of teams from the same conference.
