The last time Baylor defeated a Power 5 conference opponent from outside the Big 12, "Skyfall" was the James Bond film in the theaters, President Obama was still on his first term and the Mayans were predicting the end of the world.
Those Bears hammered UCLA 49-26 in the 2012 Holiday Bowl to cap an amazing end-of-season finish, which set the foundation for Baylor’s run to back-to-back Big 12 championships in 2013 and 2014.
Yet due to the Bears’ soft scheduling practices and a pair of bowl flops the past two seasons, one of the only -- and yet significant -- lingering holes in Baylor’s resumé since has been the lack of a marquee victory from outside the conference since that UCLA game.
