14. West Virginia
The 2023 season is a make-or-break one for coach Neal Brown in Morgantown. The Mountaineers are 22-25 under Brown's direction but haven't had a winning record in Big 12 play and failed to win more than six games in a season in his tenure. An offense that averaged only 5.3 yards per play in Big 12 contests is under the direction of a new play-caller (Chad Scott). The strength of this unit is at running back and along the offensive line, which provides a sturdy foundation for Garrett Greene or Nicco Marchiol at quarterback. Question marks also surround the defense. The Mountaineers gave up 32.9 points a game last year and struggled mightily against the pass.
