Baylor will play its first football game on Friday night against Auburn. The Bears will host the SEC team that won just five games a year ago, but it's still a big one. Hugh Freeze is on the hot seat, and Baylor has a gauntlet of a schedule to start the 2025 season. Both teams could use an early win to give them confidence.
