WACO, Texas (AP) Spencer Drango was standing on the Baylor sideline during his redshirt season four years ago when the Bears finally beat Oklahoma for the first time.

Now the All-America senior tackle and fourth-ranked Bears are trying to become the first team ever to beat a Bob Stoops-coached Oklahoma team three consecutive times. Undefeated Baylor also has an FBS-best 20-game home winning streak.

No. 12 Oklahoma has a four-game winning streak since losing to Texas, scoring at least 50 points in each of those games.

Win out in this regular season-ending stretch against Baylor, TCU and Oklahoma State, and the Sooners will claim their first Big 12 title since 2012. That would end their longest conference title drought in Stoops' 17 seasons, and put them in playoff contention.
