9-3
I think Baylor is the kind of team that wilts a little bit as the season wears on because, like us, they lack a lot of depth. They can field a really strong 22, but the next 22 can be pretty shaky.
Also, teams that rely primarily on high scoring offenses usually lose 1-2 games they shouldn't. No data on that, but just subjective observational analysis.
Like Baylor wilted the last time we played them down there late in the season?
We wilted because injuries were taking their toll. And it was after the TCU game, and no team that year won after getting beat up by TCU's defense in their next game.
I get why folks would be less optimistic about Baylor, but I think it's going to be a three way race next year between KSU, OU, and BU. I also think we're deeper than usual, which will help as the season rolls on.
We also have KU at home the week before Baylor, so we will probably be a little more rested, and BU has a neutral site game with Tech. Those Tech/BU games tend to be pretty fiesty, so we may catch them on a little emotional letdown, too.
Again, subjective analysis.
