It’s going to be wild in Waco.
This week, No. 8 Oklahoma (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) takes on undefeated and No. 10 ranked Baylor (9-0, 6-0) in one of the top-ranked matchups in the series history. For both teams, the game could has major College Football Playoff implications. It’s not going to be the first time an Oklahoma-Baylor matchup will send ripples through college football.
Oklahoma holds a dominant 25-3 record over the Bears, with their largest win coming in 2000, when the Sooners won 56-7.
Before Baylor’s first series win in 2011, the Sooners had won 20-straight matchups dating as far back as 1901. In 2011, Heisman winner Robert Griffin III led the Bears to a narrow 45-38 victory over Oklahoma.
In 2013 and 2014, two of the best years in Baylor’s history, the Bears blew out Oklahoma, once in Waco and the other in Norman. In 2013, the Bears won 41-12, and in 2013 48-14, their largest win in the series. They finished ranked No. 13 and No. 7 in the end of the season polls.
The Sooners have since won four straight games, and will be looking to get their fifth in Waco on Saturday.
