Baylor coach Art Briles says the 2015 Baylor Bears are the best team he's had in his eight years at the school.

The Baylor Bears are ranked No. 3 in the nation in the AP top 25 poll and No. 4 in the coaches poll. After destroying Texas Tech 63-35 last week for a fourth consecutive game of scoring 56 or more points, several media outlets elevated the Bears to the No. 1 playoff spot in their mock playoff brackets.

Baylor hasn't really faced any stiff competition yet, with easy victories coming against SMU, Lamar, Rice and Tech to kick off the Big 12 schedule.
