The “Baylor ain’t played nobody yet” skeptics are back in full force this season, as is seemingly tradition. The 6-0 Bears have moved all the way up to No. 8 in the AP Top 25 but have played zero games against top-25 foes. They probably won’t face one until Nov. 12, either.
So if you’re still not totally sure how good these Bears are, that’s understandable. All will be revealed in the next six weeks. Interim coach Jim Grobe refers to his team’s second-half schedule as a gauntlet, and he’s really not exaggerating.
Baylor starts with a trio of games -- at Texas, TCU, at Oklahoma -- against the only foes they lost to in 2015.
