The dream Big 12 championship matchup is finally upon us. Thousands of fans wearing crimson and burnt orange will pack inside the gigantic AT&T Stadium to watch Texas and Oklahoma play somewhere other than the Cotton Bowl for the first time since 1929. The atmosphere inside the stadium might not be the same, but the stakes are higher than ever.
With a win, Texas will almost certainly play Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. With a loss, they could end up playing in the Alamo Bowl, depending on their final ranking. For Oklahoma, the Sooners are likely to make the College Football Playoff with a win.
