Where They Stand:
No. 4 Baylor Bears (-7.5) (6-0, 3-0 Big 12)
West Virginia Mountaineers (4-2, 2-1 Big 12)
The No. 4 Baylor Bears are coming off an improbable 21-point comeback win over TCU and now have to avoid the upset as they travel to play the West Virginia Mountaineers.
Baylor coach Art Briles spoke about the importance of a stunning comeback victory and remained humble when talking about what it means. Not once did Briles mention the college football playoff or being the only undefeated team in the Big 12.
"First of all, we got bowl eligible and secondly, it keeps us in the competition for a Big 12 championship," Briles said. "From that standpoint, it's a momentum win. The way that we are looking at this week is to ride the momentum six more days. ... So we will take advantage of riding the high for five or six days. You can do that, but you can't stay that way for an extended period of time. That's what our plan is going to be (Saturday) going into West Virginia.”
Baylor now controls their own fate as the No. 4 team in the nation and will face a series of ranked opponents before the season ends. After West Virginia, the Bears play No. 11 Oklahoma, No. 15 Oklahoma State and No. 14 Kansas State in the seasons’ last five weeks.
Baylor and West Virginia have only squared off two times in their histories and they have split their 2012 and 2013 matchups. The Bears won the 2013 matchup by a score of 73-42.
