5. Baylor Bears

Record: 1-0

Previous Rank: 6 (Trend: up)

Last Week: Defeated Wofford, 69-3

This Week: vs. Buffalo

Next Week: Bye

Baylor is going to score a lot of points this season. A loooooot of points.

How well they defend will determine whether or not they can sneak up and steal the Big 12. Saturday was a good start for the Bears, who allowed just 3.5 yards per pass and 2.9 yards per rush. They also forced three turnovers.

It was Wofford, yes, but given the way FCS teams dominated the Big 12 this weekend, maybe Baylor should be happier with their performance than what is normal. Expect more of the same domination next week against Buffalo.
