Baylor returns to action Saturday, Oct. 24, hosting Oklahoma State for a Big 12 Conference South Division game. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:32 a.m. CDT at Floyd Casey Stadium. This is third conference game this season for both teams. Saturday's game, which is part of homecoming festivities on the Baylor campus, will be televised nationally on the Versus Network.

The Bears (3-3, 0-2) dropped a 24-10 decision at Iowa State last Saturday, suffering consecutive losses for the first time this season. Baylor is 2-1 at home this season with wins over Northwestern State and Kent State and a loss to Connecticut.

The Cowboys (5-1, 2-0) have won four straight after a 33-17 victory at home against Missouri last Saturday night. Oklahoma State, which has scored at least 35 points in five consecutive games, is 1-0 on the road this season; the Cowboys won 36-31 at Texas A&M two weeks ago. OSU is ranked 14th in this week's Associated Press Top 25, 12th in this week's USA Today Coaches Poll and 15th in the initial BCS standings.

BAYLOR IN TELEVISED GAMES
Saturday's game is the 125th televised game in Baylor football history; the Bears are 41-81-2 all-time in televised games, including a 2-1 mark last season. Baylor defeated Wake Forest on ABC in the season opener and knocked off Kent State on FOX Sports Southwest in late September. Two weeks ago, the Bears lost at Oklahoma on ABC.

This is Baylor's fifth all-time game on Versus and its first this season. The Bears are 0-4 on the network, falling to at Texas A&M and at home to Texas in 2007, and at Nebraska and at Texas Tech last season.

BAYLOR vs. RANKED OPPONENTS
Baylor is 41-159-6 all-time against ranked opponents, 26-140-5 when unranked and playing a ranked opponent. The Bears are 2-45 against ranked opponents since the inception of the Big 12 Conference (33-30 vs. 20th-ranked North Carolina State in 1998, and 35-34 in overtime vs. 16th-ranked Texas A&M in 2004). Baylor has lost 19 straight to ranked foes since the 2004 victory over Texas A&M, including a loss to then-No. 19 Oklahoma two weeks ago.

Since the Associated Press began conducting weekly polls in 1936, Baylor has played at least one ranked opponent every season except 1987. Baylor has played at least one top-10 team every season since 1993.

BAYLOR HOMECOMING HISTORY
Baylor plays its 77th homecoming game Saturday. The Bears are 34-38-4 all-time in homecoming games after snapping an eight-game losing streak in such games with a 36-35 victory over Kansas in 2006. The Bears' first homecoming game was in 1930, a 14-0 loss to Texas.

Baylor, which first recognized homecoming in 1909, is among five universities that were the first to hold homecoing festivities -- Illinois, Northern Illinois, Indiana and Michigan being the others.

This is the first time Baylor has played Oklahoma State as its homecoming opponent. Baylor has faced TCU (31 meetings) the most on homecoming, followed by Texas A&M (20), Arkansas (eight), Texas Tech (four), Iowa State (two), Kansas State (two), Missouri (two), Texas (two), and five other teams once.
