Prior to this year didn't Texas win it like once and wasn't the avg margin of victory like 14+ or something ridiculous? Yea - much bigger.

In this decade, OU leads the series 6-3 with the average score being OU 30.4-Texas 21.4.

6 out of 8 years that team went on to represent the South in the Big 12 Championship Game (the other 2 years the other team backdoored its way in). The winner of the game has gone on to play for the National Championship 4 times, winning 2 of them. The following is each teams ranking coming into the game since 2000:

OU: #10, #3, #2, #1, #2, Unranked, #14, #10, #1
UT: #11, #5, #3, #11, #5, #2, #7, #19, #5

Can Ohio State/Michigan match that this decade?
