I am sort of taking the day off, with the idea that I know I have some catching up to do with some commits and things of that nature, but a game that ended late and me going to bed at 11 on Saturday night only to get up at 3:30 to start writing, it was a quick turnaround (plus running 12 miles on Sunday and being busy all day).

These are the bowl projections from various sites and the consensus appears to be that the Cheez-It Bowl in Orlando is what most people think and there’s one projection for the First Responder’s Bowl in Dallas. I’ve never gotten into the weeds about what team goes where and I suppose this could change depending on how the Big 12 Championship plays out or these bowls may have a preference of teams that they want and Texas Tech ends up somewhere else. This from College Football News appears to be a good summary of the bowl game affiliations for the Big 12. I think the bowl game announcements are on December 4th.
