It's not a bye-week, anymore!
Baylor moved up in the polls despite sitting idle this weekend, and is now ranked No. 17 in the AP poll and No. 16 in the Coaches' Poll. The Nov. 7 game between Baylor and Oklahoma may end up as a de facto Big 12 Championship, as Oklahoma State's loss to West Virginia throws doubt on their offensive prowess. If you've missed Baylor football, then here's a neat video from SESP with GoPro footage of a Baylor practice.

After defeating Oklahoma 1-0 on Friday night, Baylor soccer fell 4-3 to defending Big 12 Tournament champion West Virginia.

Baylor will face out-of-conference BYU at 7 p.m. Friday at Betty Lou Mays Field.

Women's tennis' senior Jordaan Sanford fell in the final round of the pre-qualifying draw for the ITA Tennis Championships this weekend, while men's tennis' freshman Vince Schneider fell in the second round of the event.
