Baylor Football Bowl Projections Include Potential Reunion With Former Coach
Saturday’s 42-31 Homecoming win over Iowa State made Baylor bowl eligible at 6-3. The Bears have three games left to improve their postseason position, starting Saturday at No. 12 BYU.
This week’s five projections put Baylor in four bowls, with both ESPN analysts picking the Kinder’s Texas Bowl.
Kinder’s Texas Bowl (Dec. 31): Missouri or Oklahoma
ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura: Baylor vs. Missouri
Bonagura moved his Baylor-Missouri matchup from Memphis to Houston. The primary concern for Baylor would be Jamal Roberts, who cleared 1,000 rushing yards before Missouri played Texas. After giving up 182 yards to Iowa State’s Aidan Flora, Baylor would have plenty to clean up before facing Roberts.
