The Noise Meter: What Did We Actually Learn About Baylor in Non-Conference Play?

In this weekly series, “The Noise Meter,” we look at a handful of Baylor topics and decide whether they are something to get really worked up about or excited for (real talk) or not (noise). Non-conference is closed. Baylor is 2-1. The Bears lost 17-16 to Auburn in Atlanta, beat Prairie View A&M 44-3 and beat Louisiana Tech 36-19. Colorado comes to McLane on Saturday to open Big 12 play. The useful part of the first three weeks is not any one snap. It is the list of things that still look real, and the list of things that only looked real against the wrong opponent.
