Bounce House showdown: Baylor, UCF are 0-1, but not the same; looking back at the Knights' hungry history, plus new Big 12 rivalries and more

We're joined by Orlando Sentinel beat writer Matt Murschel (@osmattmurschel), along with the Trib's Baylor beat writer Zach Smith (@byzachsmith) and sports editor Brice Cherry (@BriceCherry), ready to dig into some BU and Big 12 football talk: 

1. UCF is hosting Baylor this week — believe it or not, the Bears' first road game of the year. Other than the fact that they're both 0-1 in the Big 12 (UCF a 44-31 loss at K-State last week, Baylor dominated at home vs. Texas), they're not only in different time zones, they're in totally different situations, program-wise. Who gets the bounce-back win the Bounce House? 

2. This is Baylor's first trip to UCF and the first-ever Big 12 game in Orlando. What can Big 12 and BU fans expect from the gameday environment and except from this Knights program as they get settled in a new conference? 

3. With these new 4 teams and 4 new ones coming next year, this Big 12 is going to become as far-flung as any college football fan has ever experienced. Do you think that in this fragmented geographic environment, can new rivalries develop? How might that happen? 

4. We have a top 25 Big 12 matchup this week as the Kansas Jayhawks travel to Austin to play the Longhorns. While UT handled KU last year on the road, the Texas faithful definitely haven't forgotten two years ago, when Kansas notched an improbable upset at DKR Memorial, 57-56 in overtime, so the Longhorns will be highly motivated, obviously. Is there any chance Kansas pulls the upset?
