No. 12 Baylor will go for their program-record-tying 10th straight win this Saturday against Iowa State, a team that is fully aware of what the Bears' offense can do. The Cyclones allowed the fewest yards-per-game in the Big 12, and the second-fewest yards-per-play, but the Baylor combination of Lache Seastrunk and Bryce-Petty-plus-receivers will most likely change that. BU's defense will need to shore up against another elusive quarterback, though Sam Richardson isn't quite the threat to run that Daniel Sams was. Iowa State punter Kirby Van Der Camp had only one scholarship offer, but his incredible leg has put him in a position to be competitive for the Ray Guy Award.
The first BCS standings will be released this coming Sunday, and projections have Baylor sitting around the no. 10 spot.

Though most of The Alphabetical rightly covers Dabo vs. Jimbo, there's some Baylor goodness at the bottom.
Baylor soccer heads to Ames to face Iowa State tonight at 7 p.m. as they kick off their last four Big 12 regular season matches.
