I intentionally held off on this prediction. I wanted to get the feel on this one.
Mountaineer brethren, we may be in trouble. The heart and soul of the defense is gone for the season, Karl Joseph. Before his injury, I felt we won easily. Now, OK ST. will have to be beaten in a shootout. Can...
Ugh... It took out my first sentence. I said I voted yes, but it's really a close call. Then I typed the rest.
Amazing how one sentence deleted can change everything.
This is a very tough stretch; but it is not a slam dunk.
In 1986, WVU went 4-7.
They played, in order...
At Pitt... The game before this 4 game stretch.
At #20 Virginia Tech
Vs. #2 Miami
Vs. #19 Boston College
At #1 Penn St.
All these ranking are end of season... Four straight ranked teams...
First off, Congrats to Bat 20 for getting the closest prediction. That sure was a whompin' put on the Terps, I thought we'd start slow. Boy, I WAS WRONG!
I'm drinking the Kool-Aid. I think this game is the gem of the Big 12 schedule so far; it's a shame one of these two schools has to lose. I...

TCU senior defensive end Mike Tuaua and redshirt freshman wide receiver Andres Petties-Wilson was arrested on Monday for allegedly kicking and punching a...
Why is college football so addicted to this Noon, 3:30, 7 or 8 PM schedule.
Give some small conference school a 10AM kickoff to be the only show on the rodeo, and have a 2PM game, and a 6PM game.
Don't laugh, but Arkansas St. vs. Toledo could be an interesting matchup, but I won't watch it at...
Number of Undefeated Teams By Conference After Week 3
1. BIG XII- SEVEN
2. SEC- SIX
t3. Big 10- FIVE
t3. ACC- FIVE
t5. PAC 12- FOUR
t5. AAC- FOUR
7. MAC- TWO
8. MWC, C-USA, Sun Belt- ZER0
I have personally found the number after week 5 is a very good indictator of Strength of Conference. We...
West Virginia loses PG James Bolden for 2015-16 season

WVU will not have James Bolden's services for the upcoming season. (via WVU Athletics)
West Virginia announced Monday morning that freshman James...
Maryland will come into this contest either 2-1 or 1-2 depending on how they do with South Florida. I honestly see that being a very close contest but being at Maryland I'll give them the slight edge.
This game has trap game written all over FOR BOTH TEAMS. WVU has rolled in its first two games...
Imagine a Big 12 schedule and Penn St., Pitt, Maryland and VA TECH. Yes, I mentioned four, after expansion.... That'll be a great schedule for our fans!!! When the playoffs expand to 6 or 8 (don't laugh, the NFL model is a 6 team per conference) That schedule would virtually guarantee a Big 12...
Bowling Green gave Tennessee fits for a while. BG is a little better than Akron, but I thnk the games are comparable. I think this game will be similar in nature to the Ohio St. v. VA Tech game, with Tennessee leading at the half but ending in a strong win for Oklahoma.
Oklahoma 42, Tennessee 24
I think that the only conferences that should schedule FCS schools are C-USA, Sun Belt, and MAC. I also think Air Force, Army, and Navy should be allowed to schedule VMI. Other than that, FCS schools playing FBS "big schools" does nothing but get people hurt in the name of money. Honestly, if...
Do I need to ask why, LOL?
And yet, let's look at who got ranked and in what order.
#2 Alabama
#6 Auburn
#10 Georgia
#14 LSU
#16 Texas A & M
#17 Ole Miss
#18 Arkansas???
#20 Missouri????
#23 Tennessee???
#25 Mississippi St.
Now... Because I don't want my love for the Mountaineers to cloud my...
On the flip side of that argument, though, ... We kind of have a built in game like that in our conference during conference play. Unfortunately, they are called the Kansas Jayhawks.
On a side note: The Big Ugly, I mean the Big 10 (14) has done a phenomenal scheduling job with their new divisions. Intentionally, they kept tough cross-division games away until the future, knowing that schools ebb and flow in power and strength. I personally don't like it.... But it is VERY...
Guys, this game will get UGLY.
While I was listening to the Mountaineers thump up on Ga. Southern on a perfect camping night with my daughters at Pipestem State Park... My cell phone could pick up video of the Liberty v. Del. St. game. And I gotta tell you something; if they defend us anywhere...
Let's just say this... PLEASE don't lose at UT. I think this is the year the myth of SEC infallibility can be nixed. I see three SEC losses this weak, though honestly mostly lower tier SEC teams.
Western Kentucky over Vanderbilt
Louisville over Auburn
Louisiana-Lafayette
