History

The in-state rivals have played each other 113 times, with the first game between Baylor and Texas being played in 1901. Only Oklahoma and Texas A&M have played Texas more times than Baylor. Both Baylor and Texas were founding members of the Southwest Conference and the Big 12 Conference. Texas leads the all-time series with Baylor 81–28–4. However, starting in 2010 this rivalry intensified as Baylor established themselves as a major contender in the Big 12 with Baylor playing for 4 conference titles and winning 3, including a head-to-head win over Texas to clinch the conference title in 2013, in what is now known as the "Ice Bowl".^[6] Losing the Big 12 title to Baylor, 30–10, was Mack Brown's last regular season game as the head coach at Texas.

In 2015, a 4–7 Texas team beat #12 Baylor 23–17 in Waco to ruin the Bears' Sugar Bowl chances. Baylor had started out the year 8–0 but lost two of their next three and also had injuries to their starting, backup, and third-string quarterbacks. They lost 44–34 to Oklahoma at home but beat #6 Oklahoma State 45–35 for their first win in Stillwater since 1939. Sitting at 9–1, the Bears still had a chance to win the Big 12, but lost 28–21 in overtime at TCU. Despite their Big 12 and CFP hopes gone, Baylor was looking to be the Big 12's representative to the Sugar Bowl after Oklahoma's 58–23 defeat of Oklahoma State (whom the Bears beat); they would have won the three-way tiebreaker between themselves, Oklahoma State, and TCU. However, Texas took advantage of the injury-plagued Baylor squad and upset the Bears 23–17, which meant that Baylor would no longer be in line for the Sugar Bowl; Oklahoma State jumped back into the picture and received the Big 12's berth.

With Texas departing the Big 12 to join the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in 2024, the future of the rivalry is uncertain beyond 2023.^[7] Prior to the departure of Texas to the SEC, the two teams had played annually since 1945^[8]^[9] Since 2010 the series is led by Texas, 8–6.^[10]
