If Texas wins out its regular season schedule, it could still find its way to the Big 12 Championship game. A loss would effectively end any hopes Texas has of winning the conference.
The Texas football team’s 2020 season appeared to be heading off the rails after a shocking 1–2 start to conference play, but three straight victories after a loss to Oklahoma in the Red River Showdown have put the Longhorns in contention to play in the Big 12 Championship.

Longhorn fans and players may not think about West Virginia outside of the teams’ annual matchup, but the Mountaineers have chosen Texas to fill their rival void.
Despite being ranked No. 8 in the Big 12 Football Media Preseason Poll, the Mountaineers have scratched their way to No. 4 at the midseason mark behind a stout defense and good quarterback play.
If there’s one thing to learn from this series’ meager history, it’s that there are no favorites. The Longhorns have upset multiple ranked West Virginia teams, and the Mountaineers have returned the favor.
