So, I guess we can say it again this week. Baylor, might be good. Actually, better than we all thought.

I think may people, myself included figured that Baylor would be something decent but still struggle in the shadow of all their offseason controversy. I honestly didn’t expect them to be undefeated, I figured they’d lose to Oklahoma State but here we are with an undefeated Baylor. Up next for the Bears is a week off then their death march through the Big 12. A trip to Texas followed by a trip to Oklahoma with TCU sandwiched in between.

We will know just how good Baylor is in about a month or so. Buckle up.

There’s a Clinton running for president and Nebraska is good again. I’m not sure how I’ve handled 2016, not as well as Nebraska has apparently. The Cornhuskers have had a “2015 Iowa” like season, with a bit more dramatics involved.

Cornhuskers QB Tommy Armstrong struggled and threw an interception that gave Huskers fans visions of his nightmarish 2015 season. A win is a win however and Nebraska is 6-0 for the first time since 2001, up next for Nebraska is Purdue then their toughest stretch of 2016. Two games on the road at Wisconsin and Ohio State, then a visit from a feisty Minnesota team. Chances are Nebraska won’t be winning all three of those games but it’s still got to see Nebraska being Nebraska again.
