For the eighth time in Big 12 history, Baylor was selected as the favorite to win the regular-season title in the preseason coaches poll released on Thursday.
Baylor garnered eight first-place votes, with Texas earning the remaining two.
The Lady Bears were named the preseason favorites for each of the last two seasons and have won or tied for two regular-season championships.
Last season, Baylor was a perfect 18-0 in conference play and won the Big 12 championship against Texas before falling in the Sweet Sixteen to Oregon State.
The Lady Bears also boast the conference's preseason player of the year Kalani Brown, preseason defensive player of the year Lauren Cox and preseason newcomer of the year NaLyssa Smith.
