After clearing arguably its biggest hurdle, Texas is in prime position to return to the BCS title game.

If history is an indication, the Texas Longhorns should maintain their place as one of the favorites to return to the BCS title game after Saturday night’s trip to face a young, struggling Missouri team.

College football betting odds have the Longhorns listed as 13-point road favorites.

The goal for the Longhorns is a perfect second half, something that’s eluded them over the last three seasons. Four of Texas’ seven losses in that span have come in November, and a last-second defeat at Texas Tech kept them out of last season’s title game.

The Longhorns are 21-1 in October since beating the Tigers on Oct. 16, 2004, and haven’t lost the week after playing the Sooners since 1997.

The Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.
