Moreover, Baylor and Texas are both ranked at the moment, and could use a victory to further themselves moving forward.

The Bears are coming off a solid victory on Saturday, welcoming Arkansas to town and defeating the Razorbacks. Meanwhile, the Longhorns didn’t have as much luck against the SEC, as they fell to the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville.
