The two programs have played twice, with Baylor winning in 1983 and BYU winning in 1984.

BYU has created a challenging schedule as an independent, playing Nebraska, Boise State, UCLA, Michigan and Missouri in 2015. The 2016 schedule contains Arizona, Utah, UCLA, West Virginia, Michigan State and Mississippi State.

A home-and-home against a Big 12 program could also give BYU some leverage toward becoming the next team to join the conference, if it decides to expand.
