The Bears cruised to a 69-10 win against the Great Danes last Saturday in a nice tune up game before heading up to Provo, Utah this weekend. This Saturday's matchup versus BYU will feature 2 top 25 teams, and 2 of the best offensive lines in the nation. It will be a tough game for the Bears as BYU has the highest percentage of returning production from last year and certainly have circled this game on their calendars.

Huge news in the college football world as it was announced last week the College Football Playoff will be expanded to 12 teams including automatic bids for 6 conference champions. Dave Aranda was asked about the expansion and that's exactly where this episode begins. We'll hear what Coach Aranda had to say and then Travis' reaction. Will this decrease the likelihood that we see 2 "superconferences" emerge and what does this mean for Baylor and the Big 12? Travis discusses.

Travis recaps the game vs Albany last weekend and what impressed and didn't impress him. He wanted to see the offensive line get off to a better start, and the defense to contain the QB better. 

Then Jarom Jordan Co-Host of BYU Sports Nation joins Please Bear with Me to discuss the matchup between Baylor and BYU amongst other things. Jarom explains how excited the BYU fanbase is to join the Big 12 and mentions what a positive experience it was for fans visiting Waco last year. Then they'll dive into the game this weekend and the expectations of both teams. Travis and Jarom will also discuss the multiple layers going on in this game from future Big 12 opponents, to Grimes and Mateos returning to BYU, and the Mormon vs Baptist budding rivalry.

Travis wraps up with the "Bear Necessities" and his week 2 picks. Bear with us this week and let's get excited for the trip to Provo, this has the makings of a Baylor Football classic.
