We've not yet as of this writing seen the winner of the Baylor/Michigan State Cotton Bowl game, but after this highlight, we aren't sure it will really matter.
With 4 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter: 6-7, 390 pound LaQuan McGowan got the thrill of a lifetime. He lined up as an eligible receiver and caught a pass from Baylor QB Bryce Petty. McGowan got the ball around the 10 yard line and rambled in.
We aren't sure if the Michigan State guys didn't want to mess with someone that big or if they were too stunned to see a kid that large catch a TD pass.
Either way, the TD stretched the Baylor lead to 41-34...

Morning Wrap: Baylor Handles Kansas State Makes Playoff Statement
((ht: espn.com))
Was it enough?
That's the question all over the state of Texas Sunday morning after both Baylor and TCU took care of business on Saturday.
The Bears did their part Saturday night, powering past a dangerous Kansas State team 38-27 in Waco.
QB Bryce Petty, who left the previous weeks game with a concussion, came back to lead his team to a share of the Big 12 title with 412 yards passing and a TD. He ran for a TD as well.
Really the only questions lingering after the game were: 1) Will Baylor get to leapfrog TCU, the other co-champ of the Big 12, who is ranked ahead of them (as of 10am Sunday). 2) Will either Big 12 team be able to hold off the strong Ohio State sentiment coming after their championship win.
We say yes, despite the Big 12 only being 10 and not having a title game, both teams, Baylor and TCU should be ahead of Ohio State. Bottom line: tOSU lost to a crappy Va. Tech team.
Yes, TCU lost to Baylor and that should count. Baylor lost to an inferior West Virginia team.
So how does it play out? We have no earthly idea....
ESPN.com provides the Baylor highlights:
It should be noted that after the game, Baylor head coach Art Briles was um, less than thrilled with Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby. Bowlsby was in Waco after presenting a Big 12 trophy to TCU in Fort Worth just a few hours earlier. Both TCU and Baylor fans were chanting "One True Champion", something that the Big 12 is unable to produce. Unless it went to tiebreakers, which they aren't doing either.

CFB Review: Baylor Blows Out Oklahoma
((ht: foxsports.com))
The Baylor Bears appear to have gotten mad after being down 14-3 after one quarter to the Oklahoma Sooners.
So they did something about it.
45 straight points later, the Bears walked out of Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma with a 45-14 win.
Baylor's Corey Coleman had 15 catches for 224 yards and a touchdown and the Baylor defense knocked OU starting QB Trevor Knight out of the game.
Knight was injured on a sack where he was driven into the turf. His injury was serious enough that he was wheeled off the field, immobilized on a backboard. No word on his injuries, but he did give a #1 sign to the crowd.
Video from FOX Sports:
The win moves Baylor to 8-1 on the season, 5-1 in the Big 12. And barring a setback, it continues aligning the Bears with Kansas State, who they will likely face for what will probably be the Big 12 title and a playoff berth, at home on Dec. 6th.
Here is some more video from the game featuring Baylor QB Bryce Petty throwing a TD to the aforementioned Corey Coleman:

ICYMI: West Va. Gets Big Win vs. Baylor and Riots
((ht: foxsports.com))
It wasn't pretty. But it was a win and Dana Holgersen and the West Virginia Mountaineers will gladly celebrate beating the alleged #4 team in the country.
West By-Gawd took down the Baylor Bears 41-27 in Morgantown Saturday in a game that featured 18-penalties against Baylor. The win threw the Big 9 (12) title race into chaos...
It also featured Mountaineer QB Clint Trickett recording his 8th straight 300-yard passing game, throwing for 322 yards and 3 TD's. Kevin White, who leads the nation in catches, caught 8 of those passes for 132 yards and 2 TD's.
As for the Bears, well, we picked this to happen.
Sure, Bryce Petty threw for 223 yards and 3 TD's, but Baylor's high-powered, nation leading offense was pretty much held in check by West Va.
Your highlights from FOXSports:
It should be noted in true West Virginia fashion, students ran on the field and continued the celebration late into the night. Rioting was reported all through the downtown area of Morgantown. According to reports, the students were setting fires, damaging street lights and various other properties and threw rocks, bottles and beer at police and firefighters called in to help calm them down.
You stay classy West Virginia....

Baylor Outscores TCU 61-58
61-58, isn't that a basketball score?
What? No, it's a football score?
Really? Surely you're joking....
I'm not joking and don't call me surely...
It took a 28-yard Game Winning Field Goal at the buzzer by Baylor's Chris Callahan to stop the scoring onslaught. Callahan's kick gave the Baylor Bears a 61-58 win over TCU in a shootout that maybe the biggest of all shootouts...
Callahan's kick capped a comeback that saw the Bears fall behind by as much as 21 points with only 11 minutes to go.
But the powerful Baylor offense, behind 510 yards passing and 6 TD's by Quarterback Bryce Petty came back. And came back fast.
With the game tied and just over a minute to go, TCU coach Gary Patterson decided to go for it on 4th and 3 from the Baylor 45. And inexplicably called a pass play.
The pass was incomplete.
Giving Petty and Baylor a minute to go half the field was plenty of time. A pass interference call against TCU and some smart running by Shock Linwood who ran for 172 yards, out the ball in position for Callahan to finish the game.
And he did...

Oklahoma State Bad News For The #3 Baylor Bears, Cowboys win 49-17
Lets see how many college football fans drop off the Baylor Bears bandwagon now.
Oklahoma State's 49-17 win over #3 Baylor have killed Baylor's chances to win a BCS National Champion.
(Thanks Newsok.com)
Cowboy quarterback Clint Chelf assured it would be a long night in Stillwater for the Bears. Chelf threw for a career high 370 yards and three touchdowns and even rushed for a touchdown too.
“I'm happy with the groove he's in." Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy was quoted in Daily Oklahoman. "We just want to let him keep going.”
The Cowboy defense held the potent Bear offense to just 453 yards of total offense. We say just 453 yards because Baylor's offense averaged 684.4 yards per game.
“Oklahoma State played extremely well and had a lot of energy and made plays when they needed them,” Baylor head coach Art Briles said. “We did things you can’t do at home or on the road, and you dang sure can’t do them against a good team on the road. They’re a good football team, and that’s why you had the outcome that happened tonight.”
“This loss won’t define our team,” Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty said.
Petty had career highs in had career highs in passing attempts (48) and completions (28) for 359 yards and two touchdowns but is wasn't enough.
“This is a great team, a special team." Petty said. "But us not finishing drives wasn’t fair to our defense, and that’s on my shoulders. I have the ball on every play, and I have to execute.”
Baylor has TCU at Ft. Worth next week before closing the season at home against Texas.Oklahoma State has a week off before taking on Oklahoma December 7th in another edition of the Bedlam game.

Best Team You're Not Aware of: Baylor Drops 63 on Texas Tech
They are ranked 4th, 5th or 6th depending on which poll you believe.
They average 61 points a game and over 600 yards on offense.
Famous alumni (recent)--Mr. RGIII of the Washington Redskins.
And they are undefeated and have inserted themselves into the BCS Championship game conversation.
"They" are the Baylor Bears and the Bears, under Coach/Offensive genius Art Briles are now 9-0, 6-0 in the Big 12 after beating Texas Tech 63-34 on Saturday.
Mind you the score after one quarter was 21-20 Baylor. Of course that also means the score was 42-14 the rest of the night.
The Bears racked up a cool 675 yards of offense, and strangely enough, that total was very well balanced. 335 yards passing, 340 rushing. Quarterback Bryce Petty, he accounted for 5 touchdowns himself (3 passing, 2 running).
The game itself wasn't always pretty and the Baylor defense, while not horrible, is probably not SEC or even ACC worthy.
But how can you not pay attention to a team like this?
Sure, if they beat 12th ranked Oklahoma State next week they'll finish undefeated. But it probably won't be enough. As impressive as the numbers are, it won't get them past the name cache of Ohio State. It definitely won't get them past Florida State or Alabama either….unless two of the three aforementioned teams lose.
Which in theory, isn't likely, but how much fun would it be….if it did happen?

Baylor Takes Care Of Bid-Ness, Knocks Off Big Game Bob...
((HT: Newsok.com))
The first quarter of the Baylor-Oklahoma game last night was what most folks thought it would be... the Sooners slowing down Baylor's offense and hamstringing them to normalcy- especially after the safety, free kick return, and a 5-3 lead...
Which might have been the beginning of the end for the Sooners... getting three instead of seven...
From there, Baylor and their black shirts outscored Oklahoma 38-7 on their way to a dominating, 41-12 win where Baylor took advantage of mistakes and capitalized quickly...
Very quickly...
Here's Damon Fontenot- very, very late last night talking about all the problems...
The Oklahoman's Berry Tramel thinks that both Josh Heupel and Blake Bell are in trouble where their jobs are concerned... From Tramel: Two years ago, after Robert Griffin torched the Sooners for a 45-38 upset, Stoops was motivated to switch his defensive leadership. Within six weeks, Mike Stoops was in and Brent Venables was out. So the Heupel watch officially has begun. Bob Stoops went 13 years without firing a coach. Now he's fired four and demoted another in the last two seasons. Stoops has proven he's got a guillotine and will use it.
Must read for Sooner types...

Do You Believe Baylor Is For Real Now? Bears Deliver A Whooping On Oklahoma 41-12
Does and ole fashioned butt whipping on one of the Big 12's brand names make you a believer in the Baylor Bears?
Baylor leads the nation in total offense with 718 yards per game and scoring with 64 points per game. The Bears are outscoring opponents by 48 point margin yet not much respect was coming Baylor's way.
You have to admit Baylor's 41-12 win over Oklahoma was really impressive.
Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns.
Running back Shock Linwood rushed for a career high 182 yards.
Baylor outrushed Oklahoma 255-87.
"It's a very special team." Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty said. "Our defense played outstanding tonight, and I think it's one of the best games I've ever seen them play."
Baylor's defense held Oklahoma to 237 yards of total offense.
"I think that we showed we can play defense and compete with any team in this conference and in the nation." Baylor defensive end Chris McAllister said. "When we have a game plan and put our minds to it and guys execute, we can play with anybody, and I think that's what we showed tonight."
Baylor is now 8-0 for the first time in school history.
When the BCS standings are released Sunday night, will Baylor be that number four team in the conference.
That December 7th showdown with Texas is looking really big right now.

Can Anyone Derail The Baylor Offense? Bears put up over 70 points again.
Right now Baylor head coach Art Briles is the resident offensive genius in college football.
Heading into the West Virginia game Saturday the Bears led the nation in total offense averaging a staggering 751.3 yards per game while putting up almost 70 points a game.
Even Oregon's offense can't compete.
Saturday in front of 45,467 fans at Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco, Texas Baylor padded those stats.
Baylor put up a Big 12 Conference record 864 yards of total offense and put up over 70 points to defeat West Virginia 73-42. In face Baylor's 73 points is a Big 12 conference record too for most points in a single game in a conference head-to-head match-up.
Enjoy the offensive show.
Saturday against West Virginia was Bryce Petty's fourth start as the Bears quarterback and once again Petty put up big numbers. He threw for 347 yards and two touchdowns.
“It’s a team win." Petty said. "We’re all smiles right now and we should be."
Damn right you should smile after that performance.
Next week Baylor travels to the "Little Apple", Manhattan, Kansas to face the K-State Wildcats.
It might be a little tougher to put up 70 there.
