1. Baylor Bears (Record: 4-0)

The biggest question mark people had for Baylor heading into this season, was how long the Bears could stay healthy given its depth chart. But for first-year head coach Jim Grobe’s team, everything seems to be clicking.

Quarterback Seth Russell was 18/28 for 384-yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Chris Platt and Ishmael Zamora each accounted for two touchdown catches, but not without controversy. Zamora was returning from a three game suspension after video surfaced of him beating his dog on Snapchat back in August.

KD Cannon suffered a muscle strain during the game and returned to the sideline in street clothes, but if injuries can stay limited, Baylor could be a very frustrating opponent for Big 12 teams this season.
