The biggest game in Texas this weekend is nowhere near a huge Ferris wheel – though there are plenty of places in Waco to stuff yourself with sloppy fried foods if that is what you want.
No. 9 TCU turned the Red River Rivalry into an opening act for the Horned Frogs matchup against No. 5 Baylor, when they upset Oklahoma last week.
Sure, the Sooners and Texas will draw plenty of attention for their annual meeting at the Cotton Bowl during the Texas State Fair, but the 110th game between TCU and Baylor will have far more impact on who wins the Big 12.
For Baylor a huge game in their glitzy new on-campus stadium, the first top-10 matchup in Waco since 1956, is another step in the evolution of a program that for years resided in the Big 12 basement.
For TCU, beating the Sooners put the Horned Frogs back in the big stage after a rough two-year transition to the Big 12.
