Baylor Bears (#7)
2023 Record: 3-9, Conference: 2-7
Just two years removed from a Big XII championship, the Bears stumbled to just three wins in 2023. As a result, one must wonder how much longer Dave Aranda will be the head man in Waco.
Top Returnee: RB Dawson Pendergrass
As a true freshman, Dawson Pendergrass rushed for 338 yards and 5 touchdowns. In addition, Pendergrass added two receiving touchdowns, and 49 yards on three kickoff returns.
Top Portal Prospect: QB Dequan Finn (from Toledo)
A 3X All-MAC selection, Dequan Finn won the Verne Smith Leadership Award as the top player in the MAC. Finn led the MAC with 2,657 yards, 22 TDs, completed 65% of his passes, and averaged 242 yards of total offense. In addition, Finn rushed for 563 yards and seven more scores.
Top High School Recruit: RB Joseph Dodds
A 3-star recruit, Joseph Dodds rushed for over 1,600 yards his junior season.
Houston Cougars (#6)
2023 record: 4-8, Conference: 2-7
The Cougars stumbled in their first year in the Big XII, winning just four games that cost Dana Holgersen his job as head coach, and Willie Fritz (Tulane) was hired to replace him.
Top Returnee: QB Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith passed for 2,801 yards, 22 TDs, and 13 INTs. In addition, he added 428 rushing yards and six TDs. Smith posted a season-high 378 yards, three TDs, and one INT in a 31-24 loss to Texas.
