Earlier this week we took a look at the most disappointing teams from the early 2013 college football season. So far this season has gone according to plan with teams like Alabama, Clemson, FSU, Louisville, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon and Stanford remaining undefeated. Georgia, Texas A&M, LSU and South Carolina all have a loss but they are still top 15 teams. There haven't been a lot of highly publicized "surprising" success stories so far this season. Let's shine a light on the five teams that I think have surprised the most so far this season…..

Baylor Bears (3-0)- It's not surprising that the Bears are undefeated early in the season. Let's face it, they've had an easy early road. What has been impressive is the way they've gone about their business and destroyed their opponents with an Oregon-esque shock-and-awe offense. So far, the Bears lead the Nation with 751 yards of total offense per game. They also lead the Nation with point at 69.7 points per game. They have a 62 point average margin of victory so far this season and they haven't needed the fourth quarter to do it as they are averaging just 4.3 points per game in the fourth quarter this year. The average score at the end of the first quarter so far for the Bears has been 28-3. At the end of the first half the average score has been 44 to 7. The Bears schedule will ramp up now that they've are into their Big 12 schedule, but regardless of opponent what they've done so far has been impressive.
