Excellent job, start to finish, Baylor. And great turnout, Baylor fans! The Class of 2017 showed up in a huge way. Let's hit the contributions from the major players before moving into the news and Top 25 results.
Major Contributors
Bryce Petty --19/24 for 312 yards and 2 TDs. A bit above my projection, but I have no complaints. Petty was fantastic.
Lache Seastrunk -- 11 carries for 111 yards and 2 TDs. This is the place where Baylor's blowout win cost #LacHeisman. He didn't get the carries he needed to really establish himself, with the vast majority of his yards coming in the first half.
Glasco Martin -- 8 carries for 30 yards, 1 TD. Limited by injury, he didn't really look like himself. He got the carries they wanted, though.
Tevin Reese -- 5 catches for 97 yards, 1 TD. The play he made on that overthrown pass (that ended up being a TD) was simply incredible.
Antwan Goodley -- 5 catches for 90 yards, 1 TD. He was dominant. We've never seen anyone with his strength and speed on the outside. How many DBs are going to be able to cover that?
Corey Coleman -- 2 catches for 73 yards, 1 TD. His first career TD catch was Seth Russell's first career TD throw!
Jay Lee -- 3 catches for 31 yards. I think his production suffered from the fact that we didn't want to throw deep in typical Baylor fashion. The game was an obvious blowout almost from the start.
Shawn Oakman -- 6 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss (IN ONE GAME!)
Bryce Hager -- 12 tackles, 1 TFL.
Baylor as a team had 15 tackles for loss according to the Baylor stat sheet, and Aiavion Edwards, Sam Holl, and Jamal Palmer collected Baylor's 3 sacks. Against a team that only threw the ball 17 times all game, those numbers are simply staggering.
Top 25 Results:
Below are the rankings to start the weekend. I pulled them from ESPN.com, where they have yet to update their lists.
Of the Top 25 teams ahead of us, Oregon State clearly lost in embarrassing fashion, opening up #25 on both lists. Boise State lost, as well. They were #19 on both. Those are the only two teams that have a real chance at falling out, unless someone shifts teams around at the end just because. I predict we make a move into the AP Top 25, but I don't see it happening with the Coaches. Hopefully, I'll be wrong.

NEWS
I'd really like to know why ESPN.com has "What We Learned in the" posts up for the Pac 12, ACC, SEC, and B1G, but not the Big 12. What are Ubben's replacements doing? There are also Helmet Sticker posts up for those conference, nothing for the Big 12. What's that about? -- UPDATE, now we have the latter, at least.

Baylor Notebook: Hefty crowd at Case’s last opener - WacoTrib.com: Baylor Bears Football
If anyone was worried that Wofford, a relatively unknown FCS school, would not draw a big crowd for Baylor’s season opener, those worries proved unfounded. In the opening game of Baylor’s final season at Floyd Casey Stadium, a turnout of 44,989 showed up for Saturday’s 69-3 Bear romp. That was the second-biggest opening-game crowd in program history, behind the 1973 opener against Oklahoma, which drew 46,000.
