The Big 12/SEC Challenge started five years ago and until recently, this challenge has been a way for the Big 12 to flex its muscles as a superior conference. SEC had neve won this challenge, that is until this year. The SEC saw upset victories across the board but notably in the marquee match-up of the challenge as Kentucky defeated West Virginia in Morgantown.
The challenge caused some movement in the polls as Texas Tech, Tennessee, and Kentucky all took big moves up while West Virginia took a nose dive down. The SEC and Big 12 now have the same number of teams in the poll at 4, and both will be hoping to have more teams sneak in soon.
