Baylor's 6-0 record to start 2016 has earned the Bears the No. 9 spot in the AP Top-25 this week.

But ESPN analyst Brad Edwards says not so fast about that ranking. He says in a video on ESPN.com that both Baylor and No. 8 Nebraska have over-inflated rankings. ESPN metrics' strength of schedule meter has Baylor ranked at 112th in the country.
