This holiday weekend will mark the final game in two longtime college football rivalries involving Big 12 teams. Kansas and Missouri have played 119 games in their historic Border War football series. Unbelievably, the series is tied at 55 wins apiece, with nine ties. Saturday will be the final game in the Kansas-Missouri football series, with no games scheduled for anytime in the future. Beginning next fall, Missouri will compete in the Southeastern Conference.
Texas A&M is also leaving for the SEC, which means that the Aggies Thanksgiving night game against hated rival Texas will effectively bring an end to that rivalry series, as well. The two Lone Star State rivals have played 117 games in the series, which dates to 1894. Texas has a substantial advantage in the all-time series with a 75-37-5 record.
