TCU has one key advantage Baylor can't overcome | FOX Sports
Stewart Mandel gives his thoughts as to why TCU will beat Baylor and win the conference.
Ultimately, I believe the schedule sets up a little more favorably for TCU than it does for Baylor.

They'd already left a stink on TCU's National Title hopes. In the minds of the fickle College Football voting powers, when a terrible team leaves a skid mark of a competitive game on good team's resume there's no wiping it off.
TCU defense already banged up | ESPN
Hopefully all these guys will be 100% by September 3.
There's no reason for the Horned Frogs to be concerned yet. But this is a defense with a lot of moving parts. Getting some cohesion before a tricky Sept. 3 opener at Minnesota will be key.
