LSU began the season hopeful of qualifying for the expanded College Football Playoff.

Baylor found itself scrambling just to get bowl eligible after a 2-4 start.

The Tigers (8-4) didn't come close to the CFP, but the Bears (8-4) have won six straight heading into the Texas Bowl in Houston, where the teams will meet Tuesday afternoon.

Dave Aranda became Baylor's head coach in 2020.
