College football fans take notice...nobody in the 2014 playoff debate returns as many players in 2015 as does Baylor. 18 returning starters and six All-Conference players are coming back to Waco. It just so happens that one of the few losses happens to be quarterback Bryce Petty, the man responsible for breaking over 25 school records and posting 11 wins in each of the last two seasons. It's beginning to look like TCU and Baylor will be interlocked once again into a Big 12 title race with major playoff implications. Watch out, these Bear front lines are built for the trenches. The skill units are also pretty well stocked on both sides of the ball. Coach Briles has a knack for producing quarterbacks. If that trent continues Baylor is capable of running the table. Unfortunately, no one in Waco addressed the non-conference schedule weakness. The Big 12 needs a Conference Championship Game, get it done!
