Baylor football is reportedly in negotiations to open the 2016 season in Australia — and Cal is named as the most likely opponent.

Baylor’s Rivals.com site first reported the news, including the mention of Cal. The Bears’ 2016 non-conference slate is currently set with games against South Dakota, San Diego State and Texas.

FoxSports.com later confirmed Baylor is in negotiations for the game abroad, adding that any talk of finalization is premature.
