Baylor will smoke 'em, take that to the bank.

First thing that popped in my head was Baylor -10.5

I agree......Baylor takes Ohio State.

Not buying in it any way, shape, form, or fashion...

Fun fact: Baylor's average TD drive lasts 1 minute, 18 seconds.

Let's see OSU's defense handle that.

I was just about to post that...tell me what Baylor's defense thinks when they play an offense that keeps their ass on the field. What did Spurrier just say recently...why run a HUNH if your defense isn't any good.

There are a few true run and gun type offenses in the hoops world whose sole defensive effort is to try to steal the ball when the other team comes upcourt. It would make sense, if your O was great and your D was terrible, to make your objective turning the other guy over rather than hold them on downs. If that fails and the other guys score quickly on you, at least your offense goes back on the field.

The minute Baylor does that against a defense that has a pulse it might impress me... Dropping 70 points on Buffalo, Wofford, Louisiana Monroe, and West Virginia (who by the way dropped 40 on Baylor and OU Held WV to just 7 points) dont impress me a whole lot. If they beat OU they may very well go undefeated tho I think Texas Tech is gonna be able to score on em.

I haven't seen Baylor play, but that does surprise me somewhat...
