Top 25 Results/Projection
It seemed like every team Baylor needed to lose yesterday, lost, and the Bears are primed for a huge move upward. The rankings will likely drop momentarily, perhaps before I even finish this post.
Coaches Poll: Baylor is #5, its highest ranking in as long as any of us can remember. That's important to the BCS.
AP Poll: Baylor is #6, behind new SEC East favorite Mizzou.
Seems a plurality of voters think we'll be #6 in the BCS when it is released today.

Seeing a lot of people complaining a/b Baylor running up the score. Were you saying that crap when teams were running it up on BU for years?

No mainstream poll voter will do it but Baylor should get serious consideration over Ohio St. I think Missouri over OSU is a no-brainer.
