    If Baylor wants to be taken seriously don't schedule Wofford. The big 12 is terrible, easily the worst of the big 5, and Baylor thus far has beaten the worst of an already bad conference.

    If they beats down OU, I'll take a little notice, but right now they're just a tall midget.

    We didn't schedule Wofford, we were supposed to play @SMU the first game of the season but they got scared and bought they game out late in the Spring so our AD had to scramble to find a replacement and most FBS teams were already full by then.

    And that is laughable if you think the B1G is better than the Big 12 lol, Big Ten is horrible besides overrated Ohio State

    Oh you mean like A&M who scheduled 4 cupcakes out of conference themselves. They haven't beaten a ranked team while losing to both ranked teams they played but sit at like 12. SEC bias ftw


    Oregon beat UCLA? Great, so did we to finish last season. They're 19 now. I believe we beat them at 15ish.

    In before Ziggy comes in with pee pee references, moral victories for aggie for nearly beating Bama, and how Big 12 is inferior to SEC SEC SEC.

    The other cool angle with Baylor relates to their crisis a few years ago when the the Big 12 exodus was rumored to happen. They made that big press release pleading to be included in the move but everyone overlooked them because the program was so ****ty. Then you see what Briles has done and the perspective completely changes. It helps that the big 12 moved to equal profit sharing. The new stadium I think will help a lot too.

    Anyway, beat OU.

    I agree with you...but I also agree with sealclubber1016. What A&M has done has nothing to do with the fact that Baylor has yet to play a team that would be even remotely considered challenging. To date, the best team Baylor has played is arguably Buffalo. According to Sagarin, A&M's sos is 46th. Baylor's is 93rd.

    Whip OU Thursday night on national tv and I will be right there saying they should be in the conversation. But right now, I think you guys have a lot to prove.

    As I mentioned earlier, too, all Baylor fans should become huge UT fans over the next few weeks. You need them to be 9-2 and ranked going into that game if you want any hope of jumping past Oregon or Florida State.

    If we win on Thursday night, the usual suspects will be in here talking about the Bears beating up on a down Big XII. It won't matter. I could not care less. Too much fun watching them play.

    Read this earlier today after getting a text about it upon waking up. Great read. I've know how well respect Briles is in Texas football for a long time now, and this really gives some insight on, beyond just winning, why he is.

    What he, Scott Drew, & Ian McCaw have done with our athletics is nothing short of amazing.

    Props to Baylor for the big win, a little surprised it was a blowout.
