No. 13 Utah and Baylor Clash in Crucial Big 12 Showdown
13 Nov
Summary
- Utah and Baylor both fighting for postseason goals
- Utah crushed Cincinnati 45-14 in last week's Big 12 win
- Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson leading nation's 3rd-best passing attack
As of November 13th, 2025, No. 13 Utah and Baylor are set to clash in a crucial Big 12 conference matchup in Waco, Texas. Both teams have something significant on the line as the regular season winds down.
The Utes (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) are still in the hunt for a potential College Football Playoff berth, despite losses earlier this season to BYU and Texas Tech. They know a defeat here would likely end their playoff aspirations. Utah has been on a roll lately, crushing Cincinnati 45-14 last week in their most emphatic Big 12 win since blowing out reigning league champion Arizona State in October. The Utes have won their last four games by an average margin of 35.8 points.
On the other side, Baylor (5-4, 3-3) is focused on securing a coveted bowl game appearance. The Bears have rebounded from consecutive losses with a 30-3 rout of UCF last week. Quarterback Sawyer Robertson, third in the nation in passing yards per game, will lead Baylor's high-powered offense against Utah's stifling defense, which ranks sixth nationally.
Both teams have plenty to play for in this late-season Big 12 showdown. The Utes are aiming to keep their playoff hopes alive, while the Bears seek to cap their season with a bowl game berth.
