Liberty vs. Baylor

Baylor is on a downward spiral and it may take years to recover from the mess that Art Briles left behind. This Baylor team will struggle to become bowl eligible for a second consecutive season.

A majority of people in the country are still picking the Bears to win this match up, according to ESPN.com. There is no reason to believe the Bears will be upset by this FCS level opponent.

Last year, Liberty went 6-5 and 4-1 in conference to finish first in the Big South. Baylor went 5-7 and 3-6 in conference to finish fifth in the Big 12.

Prediction: Baylor 36, Liberty 10.
