West Virginia
It's easy to forget how close the Mountaineers were in 2014. Fresh off the heels of wins over Baylor and Oklahoma State, WVU entered November with the Big 12 title within reach. Three losses in their final four Big 12 games and turnover-filled performances followed to erase the memories of the Mountaineers in the Big 12 title chase.
After two up-and-down seasons in the conference, WVU was like a long-distance traveler in 2014. Nearing the end of a long journey, which included plenty of new roadside views and unexpected turns in the road, the Mountaineers stumbled as they neared the destination as if they forgot to stop for gas. Committing 13 turnovers in the final four regular season games ended Mountaineer dreams of a first Big 12 title.
Heading into the fall, WVU has the speed and athleticism on its roster, from top to bottom, to compete with anyone. The Mountaineers' two games against the Big 12's best resulted in a win over Baylor and narrow one-point loss to TCU in 2014. Dana Holgorsen's team could have the Big 12's best secondary, one of the Big 12's best groups of running backs and plenty of experience at linebacker. If WVU finds a pass rush and a playmaking quarterback, the Mountaineers could rise up the Big 12 standings in a hurry.
