Call Kirk Herbstreit convinced: Baylor’s week-to-week domination offensively is worth the lofty praise.

The Bears are ahead of Ohio State in this week’s College Football Playoff projection, a four-team list that includes two bonus squads that are making a move Herbstreit believes:

TCU and Utah, after close wins, are just outside Herbstreit’s final four. Unbeaten LSU and Clemson, coming off dominant victories, get in at Nos. 3 and 4.

Trailing 35-17 at halftime on the road against Kansas State, Horned Frogs quarterback Trevone Boykin led a spirited rally and helped TCU score five touchdowns after intermission to stave off the upset bid.
