12. West Virginia Mountaineers
2024 season: 6-7 (5-4), lost Frisco BowlThe West Virginia Mountaineers went to a bowl game for the fourth time in six seasons under Neal Brown. However, it was still a step in the wrong direction overall, and with the Mountaineers not competing for a Big 12 Championship, they moved on and brought back Rich Rodriguez. One of the best coaches in program history, there is hope he can now have similar success to what he had when West Virginia was in the Big East.
