For 11 of the past 12 years, the Baylor Bears have taken up residence in the basement of the Big 12's South Division. It's become so second nature we've long since forgotten there was any other possibility ... but there is. The Bears have exhibited an unexpected spark under first-year coach Art Briles. With the help of freshman QB Robert Griffin, Baylor throttled Pac-10 cellar dweller Washington State last week, then went to Connecticut on Friday and took the defending Big East co-champs right to the wire. The Bears certainly aren't going to win their division title -- but they're no longer its worst team, either. That distinction goes to rebuilding Texas A&M, which lost its opener to Arkansas State and, on Saturday, got run off its own field by Miami. The Aggies have to travel to Waco this season. It used to be a gimme; not anymore.

Agree 100%
Art Briles > Mike Sherman
Robert Griffin > A&M defense.
Consider this future for the Agroids: they were already caught in the Tx-OU-LSU triangle when recruiting top tier talent.
Now they must face Tech, a nenewed Baylor program and the North powers for other Texas talent.
As PB stated, Mike Sherman could well be the wrong guy at the wrong time for the wrong program.
