Big 12 program under Dave Aranda. Won the Big 12 in 2021. Went 5-7 in 2025. New AD Dave McNamee (formerly of Field & Stream, not Aranda's hire). New DC from Kansas State. Key player to watch: DJ Lagway (QB) — if healthy and productive, likely departing after the year. 2026 schedule highlights: at BYU, home vs. Texas Tech, at Houston to close.

Current Show Posture

As of 2026-07-21:

The 2026 Big 12 Preview Part 2 read: Baylor has enough changes, especially Dave Aranda stepping away from defense, to make belief possible without making it comfortable; The Big 12 has more returning quarterback names than the ACC, which makes the top half more interesting and easier to preview; Dan is fully out on Baylor despite liking the community around the program, because the football case still does not convince him. This is the front-door summary for the team-specific preview coverage; the running takes below remain the source links for the underlying arguments.
