Baylor Bears Season Prediction, What Will Happen
It’s easy to overlook Baylor.
It doesn’t have the national splash of Oklahoma, Texas will get all of the headlines for being Texas, and Oklahoma State might actually be the best team in the Big 12, but there’s more than enough in place to be deep in the conference title hunt for a third time in four years.
There are two things happening here. One, the Big 12 probably won’t be anything special. Will Texas really start to be a thing, and will Oklahoma really be able to keep it all going with a new coach and a slightly tweaked style?
There’s no one in the conference that this version of Baylor can’t beat. However, this gets to the second key aspect of the season …
Set The Baylor Bears Regular Season Win Total At … 7.5
The road games.
Baylor’s only two losses last season came on the road against Oklahoma State and TCU. Helping the cause were the home dates against Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa State, Texas Tech, and West Virginia.
Now all five of those games are on the road along with a huge problem non-conference date at BYU.
Baylor got the Cougars at home last year, but that’s a completely different team in Provo.
Again, it’s not that Baylor can’t win any or all of the games on its schedule, but all six road dates are a concern, and Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and TCU won’t be sure-thing outs at home.
It’ll be another terrific season, but it’ll be a stretch to make it a double-digit win campaign without a few big breaks.
