Baylor’s huge win over Oklahoma finally gives the Bears a bit of respect. They are not going to surpass Florida State, or even Ohio State on our board, in the rankings, but there is time. Baylor still plays Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Texas. Those would be some quality wins if the Bears can keep winning and that could be enough to at least pass Ohio State and potentially jump to the #2 spot if Florida State or Alabama ever lose. The Tide still have a tough game at Auburn and Florida State could have a bit of trouble at Florida in their regular season finale.
