Motel 6 Cactus Bowl (Big 12 sixth vs. Pac-12 seventh): Baylor Bears vs. Arizona Wildcats

Where: Chase Field—Phoenix, AZ

When: December 27th, 2016

With the last projection on our list, Jason Kirk of SB Nation keeps the Cats in Arizona, except this time they are pitted against the Baylor Bears.

While Baylor has been an incredibly successful college football program as of late, the University recently dismissed head coach Art Briles following a scandal involving the football program. Although new head coach Jim Grobe may not feature the same offensive mindset for the Bears, Baylor still boasts a potent offense that could lead to a high-scoring affair against Arizona at Chase Field.
