Baylor takes on UCF on Friday as underdogs in its first game since parting ways with Dave Aranda.
Baylor enters its Week 9 matchup against UCF under new circumstances: this is the first game since the Bears fired head coach Dave Aranda. The Big 12 clash is scheduled for Friday, and oddsmakers have Baylor as underdogs heading into kickoff.
The coaching change adds an extra layer of intrigue to what is otherwise a conference matchup between the Bears and the Knights. How Baylor's players respond to the shakeup on short notice will be worth watching, though nothing about the outcome can be assumed from the circumstances alone.
Elsewhere in Week 9 college football, Kansas and TCU are also set to face off, with both programs looking to pick up a conference win as the season moves into its second half.
No final scores or results have been reported yet for either matchup, as both games are previews ahead of their scheduled kickoffs.
