You are looking somewhat live at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. West Virginia and Kansas State will do battle in a bit, but we are keeping an eye on Baylor v. Texas and pondering the consequences.

All of my bowl conjecture this week included an assumed Bears win over the Longhorns. Naturally, Baylor lost its quarterback in the first half and doesn’t have a fourth QB, which means splendidly named Lynx Hawthorne took snaps and played poorly as the Bears trailed 20-0 at halftime.

Wrinkle!

Here’s some guesswork, if Texas finishes this: Oklahoma State to the Sugar Bowl, TCU to the Alamo, WVU to the Russell Athletic. That’s not a given, but if you’ve asked me how the Mountaineers could end up in the Russell Athletic, Texas and WVU have to win today, and then some arms have to be twisted so the Russell Athletic folks take 8-4 WVU with five straight wins over 9-3 Baylor with three losses in four games and a gigantic question mark over the quarterback position.

But that is by no means a given. The Bears could lose and go to Orlando, and then you and I are still left with the absurd Texas/Liberty/Cactus scenario that will involve many elements that have nothing to do with today’s outcome and could see WVU in the Liberty, which will be here today, or the Cactus.

Bowls remain ridiculous. I remain updating in the post.
