WHAT IS THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP?
The Big 12 Championship returned in 2017, following a six-year hiatus when the title game went away after the league dropped to 10 teams. The conference had 12 teams that were divided equally into the North and South divisions. The two division winners would meet in a pre-determined venue, which was rotated in six different cities from Texas (Arlington, San Antonio, Houston, Irving) and Missouri (Kansas City, St. Louis). In the current format, the two teams with the best conference records will meet in the Big 12 Championship and tiebreakers do apply in case of a tie.
In the 19-year history of the game, Oklahoma has appeared in the game 12 times, which is the most of all Big 12 schools. The Sooners have come away with 11 wins, which is also the most in conference history. Texas (3) and Nebraska (2) are the only other schools that were able to capture multiple Big 12 championships.
The 'under' is now on a 5-0 run in the past five seasons, with the underdog hitting in the third consecutive installment with Baylor's victory.
