1. The Mountaineers sweep Kansas State. This gets WVU to 21 league wins.
2. West Virginia wins two of three at K-State. Arizona State loses once vs. Houston. This guarantees WVU at least a .714 winning percentage, and no other team could match it.
3. West Virginia loses the series at K-State. The second-place team by the end of the weekend has a maximum of 17 league wins. This scenario requires the most help, as ASU would have to lose its home series to 10th-place Houston, and Arizona, TCU and Kansas would all have to lose at least one game in their respective series.
