While fans were already hyped for the Big 12 game, with The Undertaker around, it is bound to be a night to remember. The Big 12 has never awarded championship belts before in history. However, considering that this partnership is with the WWE and in the world of wrestling belts are equivalent to the Lombardi Trophy in football, it is only fair that the winner of the college football matchup gets a belt in addition to their championship trophy.

The 18th-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys face off against the Texas State Longhorns at 11 A.M. Saturday in the AT&T Stadium for the conference title. Presently, in Q2, the Longhorns have a comfortable 35-14 lead over their opponents.
