If you're headed to , No. 10 BYU (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) hosts Baylor (6-3, 4-2) on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. The loser is essentially out of the Big 12 title game race, and CBS Sports says a third loss would eliminate BYU from a CFP bid.

Baylor won its last two by double digits as BYU fell to Utah

Baylor has won twice since interim coach Joe Klanderman replaced Dave Aranda, who was fired Oct. 25, and DJ Lagway has thrown six touchdown passes with no interceptions in those games. BYU is coming off a 28-20 loss at Utah, where Bear Bachmeier threw four interceptions.

“That's how fast that stadium can swallow you up.”
