The Big 12 and Southeastern conferences will take a break from league games on Saturday to play each other on Saturday, Jan. 28. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Sling (half off the first month).

The 10th SEC/Big 12 Challenge will feature 10 games between the two conferences, including eight involving ranked teams.

Topping the marquee will be No. 10 Texas at No. 4 Tennessee.

The Vols have one of the nation’s best defenses and moved up five spots in this week’s AP Top 25 after lopsided wins over Mississippi State and LSU.

The Longhorns lost three spots in this week’s poll following a loss to No. 12 Iowa State and a win over West Virginia.

Two blue-blood programs heading in opposite directions will face off when No. 5 Kansas plays at Kentucky.

Kentucky is no longer ranked, thanks to some lackluster losses, but seems to be rounding back into form. The Wildcats blew out Georgia and beat Texas A&M by 10 points last week.

Baylor beat Kansas for its fifth straight wins, but has another difficult game against Arkansas on Saturday.

The Razorbacks were near the top-10 most of the season before hitting a rough patch of four straight losses. Arkansas bounced back with a win over Mississippi State last week, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Razorbacks in this week’s poll.

No. 2 Alabama has its highest ranking since reaching No. 1 in 2002-03 and is right behind top-ranked Purdue, receiving 23 first-place votes from a 62-person media panel in Monday’s poll.

Kansas State hopes to keep its momentum after an emotional win over Kansas last week helped it climb to No. 5 in this week’s poll, the program’s highest ranking since reaching No. 3 in 2010-11.

The Wildcats have a huge test at No. 12 Iowa State, then host Florida on Saturday.

The Cyclones, coming off a two-point loss to Oklahoma State, have to follow up playing Kansas State by heading to Missouri on Saturday to face a team desperate to get back on track after losing three of four.

TCU handed Kansas one of its worst losses in 20 years under coach Bill Self with its 83-60 win on Saturday. That helped the Horned Frogs move up three spots to No. 11 in this week’s poll. They play Oklahoma on Wednesday before hosting Mississippi State on Saturday.

No. 15 Auburn may have the toughest road draw in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge by playing at West Virginia.

The Mountaineers lost five of their first six Big 12 games, but they play a physical game and Morgantown is always a difficult place to play.
