Baylor Football: Will the Bears avoid going 0-12?

Baylor football is still win-less, but that might not change any time soon. Could the Bears be in danger of an 0-12 season? It’s certainly possible.

If Baylor started the year off on the wrong foot they’ve since broken both toes and are stumbling through the season in pain. The best cure for a losing streak is an easy win, the only problem is that “sure thing” isn’t anywhere in sight. The Bears whiffed on both of their “gimme” games, falling to Liberty on opening weekend 48-45 and dropping their Week 2 contest to UTSA 17-10.

Since then the Bears have had ample opportunity to scratch across their first win of the season. They dropped not-so-close contests to Duke and Kansas State on the road. Between those defeats they managed to give Oklahoma a fourth-quarter scare, but still went into their bye week 0-5.

With seven games remaining on the schedule the Bears are two more losses from officially being eliminated from bowl contention. But that’s the furthest thing from head coach Matt Rhule’s mind. He’s trying to find that elusive first victory for the Bears, but there’s a real chance that it might not happen this year.

Let’s take a look at the remaining schedule. Given what we know about this Baylor team, which of their remaining opponents could they reasonable expect to beat?
