Two new teams joining the Big 12 could serve as a great rival for Baylor football in the new-formed conference Baylor looks to remain the top team in the Big 12 following the departure of Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC.

Who is Baylor's most common opponent for homecoming games?
TCU holds the record as Baylor's most common opponent for its annual Homecoming game. The rivalry has been showcased as Baylor's Homecoming game 31 times, but TCU holds a 16–15 lead in these games. Baylor won the last of these Homecoming match-ups in 1995, 27–24.
Who is the Astros’ biggest rival?
It’s possible at this point that the Astros’ biggest rival is “baseball fans.” It’s a tough call between the defending AL champs and their Bay Area brethren, but current vitriol has to win out here. There may be no team in baseball with a less obvious rival than the Mariners. The Rangers were hating the Astros before it was cool to hate the Astros.
1.Oklahoma State
Though not a huge rival to the point where Baylor students despise them (like others we will get to in a minute), OSU does count as a major competitor as they are pretty close to equal to Baylor in skill level in all sports.
2. Texas Tech
This is another example of the two teams alternating who reigns over who. Both have had their periods of glory and triumph over the other, but it's always up in the air when a new season starts of any sport, but especially football and basketball, of who is going to conquer this time. These games are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
3.Oklahoma University
This is a more recent rivalry that is more one-sided, because up until around 2011, there wasn't much competition between the two teams. OU always won against Baylor. But, when Robert Griffin III got the Heisman Trophy, everything changed and Baylor found a place on OU's radar.
4. University of Texas- Austin
This is another school that defeats Baylor more often than it is beat by them, at least in the context of football. However, there is still an undeniable tension between the two teams felt on both sides because no matter the outcome, the Bears always put up a good fight. The pressure is on all the way whenever there is a Baylor-UT game.
5. Texas Christian University
Texas Christian is last on this list because you always save the best for last. The long-standing hatred between Baylor and TCU goes way back and fuels raging school spirit among both student's teams and student sections in any sports.
