The stage is set.
Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones will play host to what it is believed a win-or-go-home Big 12 Championship game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
No. 6 Oklahoma (11-1, 8-1 Big 12) and No, 7 Baylor (11-1, 8-1) were benefitted by an Oregon 37-15 win over No. 5 Utah in the PAC-12 Championship game Friday night.
The Sooners overcame a program-setting 28-3 comeback win over the Bears on Nov. 16, eventually winning 34-31 on the road in Waco, Texas.
In 2007, No. 1 Missouri missed out on a national championship appearance at the hands of Sam Bradford and No. 9 ranked Oklahoma with 38-17 upset win. In 2019, the Sooners and Bears will likely play for a chance to go to the College Football Playoff.
No. 2 LSU and No. 4 Georgia meet up in the SEC Championship game. An LSU win puts the winner of the Big 12 Championship in the College Football Playoff. A Georgia win ends all hopes for the Big 12 conference.
The 2019 Big 12 Championship will be the fifth top-10 matchup in the game’s history. The first came coming in 1998 between Kansas State and Texas, then Kansas State and Oklahoma and 2000, and Colorado and Texas in 2003.
The Sooners and Bears will kickoff at 11 a.m. CT from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on ABC.
