Baylor came out of nowhere last year to upset Kansas State, seize the UCFC, and hold it through the end of the season, capping off their year with a thumping victory over UCLA in the Holiday Bowl. Now, for the first time in about nine months, the Bears will defend the Big Golden Trophy. Their opponents, the Wofford Terriers, are ranked number 5 in the country in Division I-AA. Baylor is unranked in Division I-A. Wofford will be very much aware that another I-AA team -- North Dakota State -- upset Big XII power Kansas State 24-21 just last night. Can Wofford shock the world and take the Big Golden Trophy back to Spartanburg, South Carolina? That would be huge for The Citadel, which will host Wofford next Saturday.
Vegas is not expecting an upset -- Baylor is favored by 30 points. And based on how well Baylor played last year, that would not be a surprising result.
This is the first-ever meeting between Baylor and Wofford.
