The Big 12 regular season spans 15 Saturdays from August to December. It could easily go the distance before a champion is crowned.
With five weeks left, fifth-ranked and undefeated Baylor is about to face its toughest test when the Bears host 12th-ranked Oklahoma on Thursday night.
Baylor, which has won a school-record 11 games in a row, also has games left against Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Texas.

No. 15 Oklahoma State still has to play Baylor and Texas, as does 25th-ranked Texas Tech.
Then there are the two potential blockbusters to end the regular season Dec. 7, when Texas goes to Baylor, and Oklahoma State hosts Oklahoma.
