ESPN ranks out their Bottom 10 teams each week, and the Texas football program was mentioned there before earlier this season. But it was their opposition for the coming weekend, the No. 14 ranked Baylor Bears, were actually one of ESPN’s Bottom 10 in Week 12.
Baylor heads into this game as a 5.5-point favorite, coming off their disappointing second half meltdown against the Oklahoma Sooners last weekend. Oklahoma was just the second team since the BCS-era began back in the 1990’s to overcome a 25-point deficit in the second half on the road against an AP Top 20-ranked team.
