Syndication: The Ames Tribune - Source: Imagn

The Baylor Bears' disappointing run continues in the 2024 season, and head coach Dave Aranda is already on the hot seat. Aranda, who led the team to a 12-2 finish in the 2021 season, has struggled with poor records since then (6-7 in 2022 and 3-9 in 2023).

This season isn't going any different. With their 43-21 loss to No. 11 Iowa State in Week 6, the Bears have lost four straight games. As they desperately need a win, let’s take a look at who they will face next.

Does Baylor Bears play today?

No, the Baylor Bears won't play today as they are observing an open week. They definitely need a break to regroup and come back strong for their next matchup.

The Bears will next head to Lubbock, Texas, to play against Texas Tech on Saturday, October 19. The game will kick off at 4:00 p.m. ET. at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Can Bears make it to the college football playoff this season?

The Baylor Bears have a slim chance of making it to the College Football Playoff. With just two wins in six games, they haven't impressed. As they head into the second half of the season, their main goal will be to finish with a winning record.

Baylor’s two wins came against Tarleton State in Week 1 and Air Force in Week 3, but they’ve suffered three significant losses to No. 16 Utah, No. 14 BYU and Iowa State. With six matchups remaining, the good news is that they won’t face any AP top-25 teams.
