The Baylor Bears were at the top of the College Football Playoff polls for most of the 2015 season, but a bad loss to West Virginia put the Bears on the outside looking in. For 2015, Art Briles will be without QB Bryce Petty and MLB Bryce Hager, but the Bears are still expected to contend for the title. Here are five must-watch games for the Bears in 2015.

The Bears easily defeated Texas 28-7, but it wasn't the prettiest performance. The Bears were held to just 111 passing yards and 389 yards of total offense, far below what Baylor averages per game. The Longhorns defense will continue to be strong, but if the offense gets a little better, this could be a trap-game.

Kansas State is always a tough opponent, especially at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Last season, the Wildcats gave Baylor a good test in their season finale, but lost 38-27.

The only team that gave Baylor a loss during the regular season last year was West Virginia. The Mountaineers outscored the Bears 41-27 in Morgantown. Baylor will not only look to exact revenge on the Mountaineers, but to embarrass them in Waco.

After getting embarrassed year-in and year-out by Oklahoma, the Bears have embarrassed the Sooners in each of their last two meetings. Oklahoma isn't a dominant program anymore, but they have some excellent players like Trevor Knight, Sterling Shepard and Zack Sanchez.

Baylor and TCU staged one of the best games of the 2014 season with the Bears coming back from a 21-point fourth-quarter deficit to win 61-58. With this year's game now in Fort Worth, the Horned Frogs will be looking for revenge.
