For the second year in a row the Bears take home the conference title, going down in history as only the second team to win back-to-back Big 12 Championships. Baylor secured the No. 5 spot in the College Football Playoffs, reserving their spot against No. 8 Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl. Baylor will look to prove their worth as a national powerhouse at 11:30 a.m. on New Years Day at AT&T Stadium.

Dr. Heidi Marcum has made a devotion to animals that many people would not consider.
