I generally support Baylor because I was born in Waco and have lived around there my whole life, but I'm still skeptical about Art Briles and the Bears. He admitted himself that he's not going to schedule any quality opponents on the nonconference schedule, and then they choke away a big lead in a game in their chance to prove themselves. Despite the epic comeback against the Horned Frogs, TCU was a better team at the end of the season and proved it. But I still agree that the Bears should be the outright champions of the league considering they did beat TCU head-to-head. Big XII commish is a doink.
Baylor is No. 2 and Utah is up to fourth behind No. 1 Ohio State in The Associated Press college football poll.
The Bears have their best ranking ever. They reached No. 3 three times previously, including once last season.
Voters spread first-place votes around to six teams in the Top 25 released Sunday. The Buckeyes received 27, down 11 (38) from last week. Baylor has 13 and Utah has 16. No. 3 TCU received three first-place votes and No. 5 Clemson and No. 9 Texas A&M each received one.
Now, there isn't much separation in the top four. The Buckeyes have 1,411 poll points, 21 more than Baylor. TCU is four points ahead of Utah.
It’s been a good week for Baylor quarterback Seth Russell.
That’s what happens when you amass seemingly unimaginable numbers on the football field. Russell threw for 380 yards and five touchdowns and rushed for 160 and a score.
WACO, Texas -- Baylor quarterback Seth Russell fractured a neck bone near the end of the Bears' 45-27 win over Iowa State, the school announced.
The injury occurred when Russell pushed forward on a 4-yard run with 5:36 left in the fourth quarter. Postgame X-rays and a CT scan revealed the fracture. He will see a specialist Monday.
Well, that sucks. I don't think Baylor's getting in now, in my opinion. I don't know. Maybe Stidham'll get it done.
In my opinion, Oklahoma State will be the Big 12 team in the playoff. TCU's defense is trash, and Oklahoma, honestly, isn't that good a team.
That's just my opinion, though.
