Conference championship week: No. 5 Baylor takes on No. 9 Oklahoma State in Big 12 showdown

It’s conference championship week and, predictably, the Texas Longhorns aren’t in it.

That’s to be expected after a five-game losing skid that brought Texas’ record under first-year head coach Steve Sarkisian to a lowly 5-7 at regular season’s end. It hurt. It hurt a lot.

College football can be a fickle ... well, you know what I’m getting at.
