WVU in Big 12- Where do the Mountaineers finish?

  • Arete said...

    Let's hear some good posters capable of having discussions without flames ruining the thread.

    WVU's schedule is a massive upgrade in the Big12. Luckily, WVU has an offense that's special. Defense is going ok in spring game and will be a bend but don't break D.

    Oklahoma, TCU, Kansas State, and Baylor play in Morgantown WVU travels to Iowa State, Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and Kansas

    WVU has Maryland at home and Marshall and JMU

    What's your prediction?

    Between 3rd and 1st depending on how things shake out. 2 to 3 loses in conference.

    Nothing about this team is small time and it is funny some of you think so because of the last 10 years- where they won 3 BCS bowls- more than 100+ teams did in Div1

    Traditionally they have played Penn State, Pitt, 'Cuse, BC all power programs in 50s to 90s

    Miami, VT power programs in late 80s, 90s 2000

    They have beaten SEC champions, Big12 Champions and ACC champions and many of you pencil in Kansas State as a loss?

  • I have them winning it. #3 at worst in my book.

    OU, UT, KState and WVU as top 4 in some order.

    That sounds about right to me.

    I see OU/UT fighting out 1/2 and KState/WVU fighting out 3/4.

    TCU and OKState as darkhorses. Pretty strong top half of the conference.

  • I think they will be top 3

    Ou
    Wvu
    K state

    Then

    Thcu
    Osu
    Texas

    Then the rest. Wvu will be the sips in Austin. Its not a tough place to play

    Interesting.

    Just curious, what's your team's record in Austin?

    If you are looking for a few, I would say that they would most likely be between @TT, @OSU, or @Iowa St.

    No matter what Ricky Bobby says second place behind OU is still a good finish.

  • the texas wvu game is gonna be fun to watch, their passing attack vs our secondary both are our teams strengths. well need to get alot of pressure on Geno to help. I dont know how yalls running game was but when i watched yall a little on saturdays it looked like yall started slow and then lit people up in the second half so yall do a good job making the adjustments. and their suspect d vs our suspect o which ever one improves the most i think gets the advantage. The top 3 i believe is going to be texas ou and wvu in any order. I feel its possible for something like ou takes tx, tx takes wvu and wvu take ou also

    SEC SEC SEC!!!

  • I could see anywhere from 2nd to 5th place. What will be interesting is the adjustment playing a Big 12 schedule week to week vs a Big East schedule. Lets face it, WVU is going to have a more physical and tougher time week to week. That may have it's toll in year 1. I see them doing very well depending how they adjust to the higher level of competition week in week out.

    Good Points. The Big 12 is college football's 2nd best conference and will/has the ability to compete with SEC in some years.

    If WVU was going into any other conference excluding Big 12 which we do have a chance to compete for title right away, I like WVU's chances ( maybe outside of USC/Pac-12) to win the title, but there are too many uncertainties with new teams, styles, and things like this to say without question WVU is the frontrunner. Thus, 2nd to 4th is more realistic.

    But WVU has always done well as a program against the big boys long before the Big East took a hit in 2004. We're a program that played tough touch schedules week in and week out. While that hasn't been the case since 2004, WVU's program wasn't built since that time period. Our recent success is not an anomaly.
