Last year, we got to see the second annual SEC/Big 12 challenge and it was too much fun to watch. We got to see the way that LSU defeated West Virginia. We also got to see Kentucky annihilate Texas. Who couldn’t love that picture above of Karl-Anthony Towns gloating?

This year we all should get our calendars marked for January 30, because that’s the only day that the 2015 SEC/Big 12 challenge will air. The first game that tips off is West Virginia at Florida and it’ll happen at noon.

Here are the five must watch games from the 2015 SEC/Big 12 matchup.
