The game: Kansas State (9-2, 7-1, 9/9/9) visits the Baylor Bears (10-1, 7-1, 6/5/5). K-State leads the series 7-4, including one win during the pre-Big 12 era. It's 5-3 under Bill Snyder, as Ron Prince split a pair with the Bears, and the series is even at 3-3 in Waco. Unfortunately, those three wins were all in the past; the three losses have been on the last three trips. It's K-State's longest losing streak at a Big 12 stadium.
Odds: Baylor is an 8-point favorite.
Kickoff: Saturday, December 6 at 6:45pm CT, McLane Stadium (45,140) in Waco, Texas.
Tickets: Good luck, buddy. This game is completely sold out, and the cheapest secondary market seats are $79 pops on the lawn at the open end zone. The cheapest actual seats are on the corners next to the lawn at $125. You want to sit anywhere else, it's going to cost you over $150 a head, and that's the minumum. There are some upper-deck seats on the K-State side... at $235.
