Perspective, if it’s still allowed.
All games are not final but already SEVEN Top 25 teams lost today. 3 others won by a TD or less.
#3 Oregon lost to 2-2 Stanford, 31-24
#6 Oklahoma (5-0) beat 2-2 Kansas State by 6 points, 37-31
#8 Arkansas couldn’t even score a point against #2 Georgia, 37-0
#9 Notre Dame lost to unbeaten #7 Cincinnati, 24-13
#10 Florida lost to unbeaten unranked Kentucky, 20-1
#12 Ole Miss (3-0) was hammered by Alabama, 42-21
#15 Texas A&M lost to 2-2 Mississippi State, 26-22
#21 unbeaten Baylor lost to #19 Oklahoma State, 24-14
#23 North Carolina State only beat 2-2 Louisiana Tech by 7, 34-27
#24 unbeaten Wake Forest only beat 2-2 Louisville by 3, 37-34
WVU lost to 4-1 Texas Tech, 23-20. The 3 Mountaineer losses came by a combined 12 points!
No team can just romp against my alma mater.
Maryland, which escaped WVU, 30-24, has lost only to #5 Iowa.
Virginia Tech, which lost to WVU, 27-21, has beaten all of its other opponents so far.
#6 Oklahoma, which escaped WVU, 16-13, is unbeaten but has beaten all other opponents by more than 3 points.
Texas Tech, which escaped WVU, 23-20, has lost only to Texas by a whopping 70-35.
There has not been a team able to beat WVU by as much as a TD.
The Mountaineers, thanks to their awesome defense (30, 0, 21, 16 and 23), can stay in the game with anyone not named Alabama.
Sure, 2-3 doesn’t sit well by me. But, again, perspective, if it’s allowed.
