So why I do I have this here if it's so lopsided? A couple reasons.
1.) It's this or Toledo-Cincinnati.
2.) You've got some top prospects here including QB Bryce Petty.
3.) You need to get an early look at Baylor while you can...and they're not going to be back in the spotlight until mid-October.
So if you're parked at home, why not at least catch the first half here? Baylor's biggest issue is inexperience - they've got a ton of underclassmen in starting roles. If freshman KD Cannon keeps the pace of his production up, he's going to have national headlines right around when Baylor's schedule gets tough in a month to say nothing of Petty. And get a look at Shawn Oakman; he's a monstrous DE with moves. The Nov. 8 showdown between him and Oklahoma LT Tyrus Thompson, who's an early day 3 guy for me right now, could turn into a must watch battle (although week 11 features #3 Alabama at #10 LSU, #8 Baylor at #4 Oklahoma, #7 Texas A&M at #5 Auburn, #11 Notre Dame at #16 Arizona St. and #22 Ohio St. at #13 Michigan St...............SEND TVs.....)
In any case if you're watching this one with me, drop your thoughts here. We can talk tomorrow's slate too which is meh as hell. #6 Georgia at #24 South Carolina could be fun though. Tennessee at #4 Oklahoma or #12 UCLA v. Texas in Jerryworld? I'll probably flip over back and forth.
Let's talk draft.
