2 — Nov. 5, Baylor in Norman

Pay no mind to Oklahoma’s 28-4 all-time record against Baylor in football. A good number of the games over the past decade have been decided by eight points or less. Baylor defeated OU 27-14 last season in Waco, snapping an eight-game Oklahoma winning streak against the Bears. Baylor went on last season to win the Big 12 Championship, which also ended the Sooners six-year run as Big 12 champs.

This year’s matchup projects to be one of the biggest games on both teams’ schedules and could be a preview of the 2022 Big 12 Championship game. The fact that this game is being played in Norman could prove to be huge. The Sooners are 10-1 against Baylor as members of the Big 12 when the game is played in Norman.

The final score of the last two game has been 27-14, with OU winning by that score at home in 2020, and Baylor prevailing by the same score last season in Waco.
