The Southeastern Conference and Big 12 Conference square off Saturday in the leagues’ annual SEC/Big 12 Challenge. The challenge features 10 games across eight hours on the ESPN family of networks. Since there are only 10 teams in the Big 12, four SEC schools — South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi State and Missouri — are not participating this season.

This season’s challenge is the fourth between these two leagues. The Big 12 has won the previous three, going 7-3 last season, 6-4 in 2014-15 and 7-3 in 2013-14.

Kentucky is 1-2 in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. The Wildcats lost to Baylor the first year, beat Texas the next season, then lost to Kansas last year.
