Anything can happen in the 1st game, but food for thought...
Art Briles against Top 25 teams
L 50-3
L 62-55
L 63-13
L 38-13
L 65-27
His last two "quality" years featured 9 losses and no Top 25 opponents.
The biggest quality win Art Briles ever has achieved was against a 7-6 Okie St team (2006).
Briles might be a solid coach and Baylor has marginally better talent than UH, but expecting them to compete against a real team at this point is ridiculous.
