What are Baylor's Ceiling and Floor in 2022?
In this story:
It's in the endless realm of possibility that Baylor goes 0-12. It's in that same realm of possibility that Baylor goes 12-0. That is their true floor and ceiling.
However, channeling a sense of true reality, Drake is joined by Joe Goodman of Our Daily Bears to set a realistic ceiling and floor for the football team this season.
As for Joe, his ceiling was a true 12-0. He sees a reasonable path for Baylor to go undefeated this season. As for Drake, he's not quite as optimistic, setting the ceiling at 11-1. There's just no way the Bears go undefeated on the road.
In the floor category, Joe lands at 6-6 — citing a brutal road stretch as his reasoning. He certainly has a point. Baylor travels to West Virginia, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Texas and BYU. Drake dips even lower to put the floor at 5-7.
He sees the five aforementioned games being losses along with a loss to Oklahoma State at home as the worst the Bears could finish.
To round out the show, the guys tackle the biggest question marks of the season alongside what they're most excited for. Both guys are pumped for seeing the Bears' passing attack under Blake Shapen. The ceiling is wildly high for the young QB.
The biggest mystery of the team lies in its schedule. Can Baylor win games consistently on the road? If the Bears are able to capture multiple wins on the road, that's the key to a double-digit win season.
If Aranda and company falter away from Waco, they are in trouble.
