Baylor Over SMU – How to Debut in a New Stadium
A 45-0 shutout to open up new McClane Stadium is pretty much the best way Baylor could have asked for as they start the 2014 season ranked #10 in the nation, beating SMU behind a strong performance from Bryce Petty and a defense that did an excellent job of keeping the Mustangs from achieving any kind of success.

Wisconsin Over Baylor – Overwhelming Right From the Start
In what was quite the contrast of styles from even before tip off, Wisconsin were a bit too much in pretty much every way imaginable for Baylor, tearing the matchup zone to shreds through a great game by Frank Kaminsky and once again presenting a defense that seemed like it was a bit too much for a slightly shocked Bears team, losing 69-52.

Kansas Beats Baylor – Someone Different Each Time
Being super freshmen and all, Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins get a lot of attention every time Kansas play. However, there’s much more to this team than those two players, as Naadir Tharpe has shown time and time again, most recently in the impressive 69-52 win over Baylor.

Baylor Bears – Big 12 Champions For The First Time
It’s been a very long time since Baylor won a conference championship – 19 years to be exact. It was hard for some people to see them hosting Texas as the favorites for what turned into the Big 12 championship game, but things have changed since Art Briles has taken over the program, lifting it to new heights through Bryce Petty and a surprisingly efficient defense, taking the program to the Fiesta Bowl and a BCS one in general for the first time.

Baylor Bears – Exposing Just How Overrated Kentucky Are
The more this season progresses, the more we learn about just how overrated this Kentucky team is, looking quite less impressive when they face other ranked teams, like Baylor in the most recent example. Julius Randle might be a very special player, but the rest of his teammates and coaches might not be, putting in a poor effort while Baylor dominated the boards and played like a team that knows a lot more about itself than the Wildcats do.

Big 12 – Texas vs Baylor Predictions
Some are suggesting this is the undercard in the Big 12 conference title, as whoever wins the game between Baylor and Texas will need to hope Oklahoma State lose their game in order to earn that BCS berth and ticket to the Fiesta Bowl.

Baylor vs Oklahoma State – Clint Chelf Turns the Big 12 Upside Down
It seems Clint Chelf always gets to be at his best when he faces Baylor, but this time it ended up with a win. Oklahoma State beat the number 4 team in the nation 49-17, overturning the situation in the Big 12, which means the Cowboys now need to win their inner state rivalry game against the Sooners in order to win the conference for the second time in three years.

Oklahoma vs Baylor – Bryce Petty Isn’t Alone in Perfection
The Big 12 is a new conference. Oklahoma are one of the old powers, and right now, not good enough to stop the winds of change, crushed by Baylor who remain the conference’s only undefeated team through a 41-12 win over the Sooners, thanks to an accurate performance from Bryce Petty and a defense that is probably a lot better than usually given credit for.
