Good lord! Everyone is saying that K. State will be down this year and TTech has been awful lately....but they are predicting them both to finish higher than WVU? Geez!

One thing has always been true; and probably will be for a long time: WV will have to EARN everyone's respect on the field.

exactly. & frankly, it's the best way to go

Did you scroll down and read his Best Case/Worst Case scenario for each team? I think he is completely out to lunch on the worst case scenario.

West Virginia

Best case: West Virginia wins nine games and flirts with a national ranking, making the Mountaineers the league's biggest success story of the regular season.

Worst case: The offense is potent but the defense lags behind the curve, leading to just two wins in conference play.

WVU beats Texas at home and finishes 4th or 5th in conference. It's was great watching Texas lose at the Consol in NCAAs. They are one of the three most annoying fan bases. Only behind ND and PSU! That night I hope belongs to WVU!

I agree that Baylor is the team to beat this year and think they'll make the college playoff. Also, TCU plays at Oklahoma late in the year . . . I'm starting to think that TCU drops to third and WVU finishes 4th, unless we win at TCU.

1. Baylor
2. Oklahoma
3. TCU
4. WVU
5. Texas
6. Everybody else
