A Fair and Honest Evaluation of West Virginia's 2019 Schedule

[GoldRusher]

How good is Oklahoma State supposed to be this season? Aside from Oklahoma & Texas, that's a very weak schedule.

You wanna see a weak schedule you take a gander at this slop:

Lot's of top tier opponents there; Auburn, LSU, Texas A&M, Mississippi State, potential SEC title game against UGA or Florida...all projected to win 8 or more games. Also, can't ever rule out a rival in Tennessee.

Thanks for proving my point, next?

Not to break ranks, but UT has to win in Morgantown this year. If Ehlinger's brain or shoulder doesnt hold up, I fully expect WVU goes in dry.

Shockingly in this series since we joined the B12 the road team has won all but two games. It’s our year to lose to Texas.

What freaking clown has Mississippi State or even A&M projected to win 8 games?

You’re right, he is a clown. Did you actually take a look at both schedules? It looks like the winner of them A&M/MSU game would have a chance to win 8. That’s it. Add auburn to the definitely not garunteed 8 wins ethier.

So, everybody is in agreement then.

Yes, Gundy will be 52 this year.

Looks like their starting safety Kenny Robinson is transferring from WVU so I am sure that will have a slight impact.

Yeah, that sucks. We have lost just about everyone that made some sort of impact from last year. Save maybe our RB’s. It may be a loooooooong year.

It's easy to squeak out 8 when 3 are against the Southwest Technical Convent of the Sisters of the Gratefully Invalid.

Hell, even WVU AND MAYBE EVEN UCF could manage that!

While it’s true to a degree, every single one of those teams he mentioned will be tough sledding to find 8 wins each. Mostly because they have to play each other, bama and LSU.

They might be able to pull off 6-6

Long term West Virginia will do well under Neal Brown but it might require a reset year
