Baylor loses to Texas and gives Oklahoma State a spot in the Sugar Bowl

Baylor fell in a bizarre upset to Texas, 23-17, in its regular season finale on Saturday, handing Oklahoma State the Big 12's spot in the Sugar Bowl.

Why is an Ole Miss blog updating you on the Baylor score? Well that's because if Bama beats Florida in the SEC Championship on Saturday evening, the Rebs will fill the SEC slot opposite OK State in New Orleans. In that scenario, the Tide heads to the Playoff, and Ole Miss, which was ranked five spots ahead of the Gators in last Tuesday's CFP Top 25, take their spot in the Sugar Bowl.
