Baylor, TCU's sudden success; Kendal Briles' future; Colorado in the CPF?
October 31, 2024 · 35 min

We're joined by longtime Fort Worth Star-Telegram columnist Mac Engel (@MacEngel) of the Tulsa World, along with the Trib's Baylor beat writer Zach Smith (@ByZachSmith) and sports editor Brice Cherry (@BriceCherry) as the Bears rekindle the Revivalry this week.

• Don't look now, but Baylor and TCU are both headed in the right direction again after the Frogs beat Utah on the road and escaped Texas Tech last week, while Baylor has strung together two wins for the first time in a long time. What's sparked these twin turnarounds in Fort Worth and Waco?

• Let's talk Sonny Dykes: He's had a wide range of outcomes leading the Horned Frogs thus far. Was it too much success too fast in Fort Worth? Will we see him at TCU long-term, or will he be moving on?

• Kendal Briles is returning to Waco this week with TCU. He's highly thought of as an offensive coordinator around the sport. He's only 41, so do you think he'll be a college head coach someday, or is the Briles name just too toxic?

• As far as the Big 12 goes, it seems pretty safe they'll get at least one team in the new 12-team CPF. But is two possible? BYU and Iowa State are still undefeated. If they both get to Jerryworld undefeated, could they both make the field? Or is there a path for Colorado to get in?
