Analysis: Baylor is at the bottom of the pile in most rankings, appearing in the Bottom 20 in 4 of 6 categories. Standard fare for the last few years has been a cupcake, a couple easy non-BCS teams, and maybe one tough team, BCS or non.

Fact: In 1998, Baylor played 3 BCS teams who combined to average 5.5 wins per season. From 1999-2007, they played 4 BCS teams who combined to average 5.1 wins per season.

Fact: Only 4 of Baylor’s 34 opponents have averaged more than 6 wins per season, and only 4 had a 10+ win season in the previous five.

2008 Outlook: Could the Bears be turning it around? 2008 is looking a lot more challenging than they're used to – three BCS opponents in Wake Forest, @ Connecticut, and Washington State, all averaging over 6 wins a season. I-AA Northwestern State is a cupcake, but they're allowed that one for a bit of balance. Mid-range for 2008.
