Baylor always knew its schedule was back loaded, but there's no denying the effort in getting past oSu and KSU.
Regression to the mean is always a thing, and I suppose the same bad beats that made them turn in a 1-11 record several seasons ago now are breaking their way. Whether it be a fortunate fumble (oSu), incorrectly called snap infraction (Tech), or delay penalty (WVU), the beats are now going Baylor's way - turning close losses into wins.
They played such an abysmally poor OOC schedule that they're not getting any real credit, and thus far, they don't pass the eye test as an actually great team. However, the games are played to win, and that's what they're doing.
