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.
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.AN EXCERPT:
PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH
(WITH NATIONAL RANKING)
1. Baylor (No. 2)
2. TCU (No. 6)
3. Oklahoma (No. 15)
4. Texas (No. 25)
5. Oklahoma State (No. 29)
6. Texas Tech (No. 52)
7. Kansas State (No. 57)
8. West Virginia (No. 65)
9. Iowa State (No. 115)
10. Kansas (No. 124)
