College football decisions often have a domino effect that can change the landscape of a program and nobody knows this more than the upstart Baylor Bears. In 2007, four-star dual-threat Quarterback Robert Griffin III had committed to the University of Houston under then Head Coach Art Briles. When Briles left Houston to take over Baylor, Griffin III, the top commit in Briles recruiting class, decided to follow him. After winning the Heisman in his junior season Griffin was the 2nd pick in the NFL draft. Many thought the Bears would return to the middle-of-the-pack in the Big 12 without their star QB, but all it took was one player and one very gifted head coach to turn the program around. Baylor currently sits at #5 in the BCS polls with a perfect 7-0 record, tops in their conference. They score the most points per game in the country (63.9) and have the 6th best defence (15.9). QB Bryce Petty has 18 TD and 1 INT and former Oregon Duck Lache Seastrunk has 869 yards rushing and 11 TD in 7 games. The offence is incredible, the defence can keep up and all because players are lining up to attend Baylor. 10 years ago Baylor had the 76th best recruiting class out of 117 Division I programs. Colorado State, Louisiana-Lafayette and San Jose State were among schools with better results. Now thanks to Griffin III and the recent success of the Bears program, last year Baylor ranked 31st. And this years crop is expected to be even better. Oregon is three spots higher in the polls and steals much of the attention as the must-watch team in college football but Baylor is every bit as fast and exciting. Baylor scored 8 touchdowns against Kansas last weekend, none of those drives took longer than 2 minutes. The likelihood of the Ducks and Bears meeting in a National Championship isnt very high with Alabama, Florida State and Ohio State still amongst the unbeaten, but it would be amazing if they did. The two schools are both on pace to break the record for most yards-per-game. The one knock against Baylor has been their strength of schedule, but thats about to change in a big hurry. Their remaining five games are against Big 12 teams that are either currently ranked or were ranked earlier in the season. They stay home for dates with #10 Oklahoma and #15 Texas Tech before travelling to No. 18 Oklahoma State and Texas Christian. The finale on December 7th will see the Texas Longhorns come to town in a game that could decide the conference. That sentence alone has Bears fans in a place they werent sure theyd ever get, among the elite teams in a power conference. Baylor has had a swift turnaround thanks to one electric player taking the country by storm. Other notes from around the NCAA: - Many thought Penn State would gain momentum after their thrilling 4-overtime win against Michigan but that didnt prove to be the case. The Nittany Lions were handed their worst defeat in nearly 114 years when they travelled to Ohio State. The 63-14 loss wasnt as bad as the 64-5 drubbing at the hands of the Duquesne Athletic Club back in 1899. - Florida State rolled over NC State with 35 first quarter points. It broke a 4 game losing streak for FSU as a ranked team versus an unranked NC State. - Recruiting kickers is going to become a bigger deal – Missouris undefeated season was shattered when Andrew Baggett missed a 24-yarder in double-overtime to hand South Carolina a victory. - LSU holds the longest non-conference winning streak in the FBS era – 45 straight wins. Part of that comes from scheduling games like this past weekend against the Furman Paladins. - Northern Illinois remained unbeaten with a 59-20 win over Eastern Michigan. 4 different Huskies combined for 7 touchdown passes in the win. QB Jordan Lynch threw for four scores, ran for one and even had his first career TD reception. - More from the kicking game, San Diego State relied on Seamus McMorrow twice in their bid to upend undefeated Fresno State. McMorrow missed two tries, including a 37-yarder as regulation expired that would have won the game. The Aztecs fell in overtime 35-28. - Auburn is on a four-game winning streak for the first time since 2010 when they went 14-0 and won a National Championship with Cam Newton as their QB.

DAngelo Russell Authentic Jersey . -- Andrew Wiggins is from Canada, Wayne Selden from Massachusetts and Joel Embiid from the African nation of Cameroon. http://www.nbanetsproshop.com/womens-dan...ketball-jersey/. The Cavaliers first-year forward will miss at least three weeks with a strained left knee, the latest setback for the No. Timofey Mozgov Womens Jersey . Geovany Soto had an RBI for the Cubs. Carlos Silva gave up one run on three hits over six innings to pick up the win. Josh Willingham drove in the lone run for the Nationals, who had just four hits. DAngelo Russell Womens Jersey . The D-Backs came into being in 1998 and appear destined to finish second in the AL West after the Tsunami that is the Los Angeles Dodgers swept over them. I thought it might be interesting to see what the D-backs have done over their 16 years compared to what the Blue Jays have done over their past 16 campaigns.James Reimer will likely start in goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday when they face the Washington Capitals in a rare afternoon game. Jonathan Bernier left Thursdays game against the Los Angeles Kings with a lower-body injury and was replaced by Reimer, who stopped every shot he faced to pick up the 3-2 victory. Bernier did not practice on Saturday and the club recalled netminder Drew MacIntyre from the AHLs Toronto Marlies. Head coach Randy Carlyle said Bernier got treatment on Saturday and a decision will be made about whether hell need an MRI. "We dont think its that severe, but you always want to make sure," Carlyle said Saturday. Reimer starting on Sunday would mark just the third timee this season hes played in three straight games.dddddddddddd His win on Thursday in LA was his first since beating the Colorado Avalanche on Jan. 21 - a stretch of more than 50 days between victories. "You can work on stuff in practice but to get in a groove, you got to get in there on multiple nights; feel the game, feel the flow," said Reimer. Also absent from Saturdays practice was defecneman Dion Phaneuf. The team captain has been dealing with "bumps and bruises" missing a practice for "maintenance" last week and is now dealing with a bad case of the flu. Carlyle called Phaneuf "probable" for Sundays game in Washington and expects him to get an IV for fluids.
