Leading up to the big reveal, our college football experts narrowed the field to the 10 teams with the best shot at the national title.Heres a look at Baylors title chances; to vote for who you think will win it all, go to our poll page or scroll to the bottom of this feature:The case for BaylorSeth Russell has a 14-0 career record as a starting quarterback with Baylor, outscoring opponents by 33.9 points per game in those contests. The Bears have averaged 629.9 yards per game when Russell starts, over 70 yards more than they have averaged when Russell does not start over the past three seasons.-- ESPN Stats & InfoThe case against BaylorBaylor may be undefeated, but FPI gives Oklahoma (5-2, 4-0 Big 12) and West Virginia (6-0, 3-0) greater chances to win the Big 12.Baylor ranks 16th in Strength of Record, lowest of all of the undefeated teams in the FBS, including Group of 5 schools Boise State and Western Michigan. The Bears have played the 114th toughest schedule in the FBS so far, lowest among all Power 5 teams.-- ESPN Stats & InfoTalking pointsVegas odds:?Baylor has 40-1 odds to win the national title, according to Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook.What FPI says: According to ESPNs Football Power Index, the Bears have a 3.1 percent chance of winning out through the regular season and a 17.3 percent chance of winning the Big 12. Their remaining schedule -- which includes matchups against No. 16 Oklahoma and No. 10 West Virginia on the road -- ranks as the 10th most difficult.ESPN staff writer Mackenzie Kraemer:?Baylor gets its toughest test of the season Saturday when it visits Texas. The Bears have played only one game in the past three weeks, against Big 12 doormat Kansas.ESPN Insider Brian Fremeau:??The Bears had at least an 80 percent win likelihood in every game theyve played thus far, but only have an 80 percent win likelihood in one of their remaining games. There is a 67 percent chance theyll trip up at least once in their next three games against Texas, TCU and Oklahoma. If they do get through that stretch, a road game against West Virginia to close the year looms large. The Bears have had hot starts against weak competition in the past before slowing down late, and our projection model indicates they are following a similar script again this year.ESPN senior writer Mark Schlabach: I hope the Bears havent worn themselves out after their recent four-game stretch: Iowa State, bye, Kansas, bye.

My role is to pitch. It doesnt matter if you start or relieve.Crawford became the first major leaguer in 41 years to get seven hits in a game. His hits came off six different pitchers.What do you have to do to get that guy out? I dont know, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. We didnt figure it out today. Hes a tough out right now and obviously, when youre getting seven hits, youre feeling pretty good about yourself. So Im sure this whole series, its not going to be fun trying to get him out.The previous player to get seven hits was Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Rennie Stennett on Sept. 16, 1975, at the Chicago Cubs. He did it in nine innings, the only big leaguer to accomplish that feat since before 1900.Crawford, who entered in a 6-for-36 slide, raised his batting average 13 points to .278. The shortstop tripled, doubled and had five singles in eight at-bats, tying the NL record for hits in one game.A great performance, said Giants bench coach Ron Wotus, who filled in as manager after Bruce Bochy was hospitalized with an illness.Bochy picked a heck of a day to take off.The only major league player besides Stennett to get seven hits in a nine-inning game was Wilbert Robinson for the old Baltimore Orioles of the National League in 1892.Johnny Burnett holds the major league mark for an extra-inning game with nine hits for Cleveland in a 1932 contest that lasted 18 innings.It doesnt happen very often that you get eight at-bats in a game so I figured it didnt happen a whole lot, but you dont think about stuff like that when youre playing, Crawford said.His seven hits set a franchise mark.Pretty crazy, Crawford said.Christian Yelich homered and tied a career high with four RBI for the Marlins. Martin Prado also went deep and drove in two runs. They hit back-to-back homers in the fifth.Cashner, still slated to start Friday, entered in the 14th to face Crawford with two on and he lined a single to center field that scored Brandon Belt for an 8-7 lead.George Kontoos (3-2) pitched two scoreless innings to earn the victory.dddddddddddd.The Marlins took a 5-1 lead into the seventh behind a solid outing from Jose Fernandez, who allowed one run and six hits in six innings. He struck out six and threw 106 pitches.I would have liked to do a couple of things differently and make some adjustments and not throw that many pitches, Fernandez said. I feel healthy and I gave my team a chance to win. Thats all I can ask for.The Giants were without Bochy, admitted to a Miami hospital in the morning after feeling ill. He was to be monitored overnight and is expected back on the bench Tuesday night.San Francisco went 6 for 21 with runners in scoring position and left 18 on base in a game that took 5 hours, 34 minutes -- the longest of the season for both teams.Exhausting, Crawford said. Im tired right now.The Giants threatened in the 13th when Crawford hit a one-out triple off Dustin McGowan (1-3). After the second out, Mattingly intentionally walked two batters to get to the pitchers spot in the order.The Giants were out of position players, leaving ace pitcher Madison Bumgarner, a .183 hitter with legitimate power, to pinch-hit with the bases loaded. He struck out to end the inning.San Francisco scored five times in the seventh off three relievers and started the inning with six consecutive hits on its way to a 6-5 lead.Miami responded with Yelichs two-run single. Crawfords single in the eighth tied it at 7.We bounced back, Mattingly said. They bounced back and from there it was crazy after that.Giants starter Johnny Cueto allowed five runs in five innings.WAY TO GO, ICHIROMarlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki received a standing ovation before his pinch-hit appearance in the sixth after getting his 3,000th career hit Sunday in Colorado. Suzuki tipped his helmet in appreciation before grounding out in his only at-bat.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins 1B Justin Bour (ankle) has taken a break from his rehab stint, citing soreness, but could return to the big league club on this homestand, which ends Sunday. Were hopeful, but its probably a 50-50 thing, Mattingly said.UP NEXTGiants: LHP Matt Moore (7-7, 4.04 ERA overall) makes his second start with San Francisco on Tuesday after being acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay.Marlins: RHP Tom Koehler (8-8, 4.05) is 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA in his last three starts.
