ESPN on WVU's 2016 schedule

[Walter Brennaneer]

By any measure, West Virginia has one of the toughest schedules in the country, including one of the nation's tougher nonconference slates. Then again, a 4-0 start isn't out of the question, either, especially considering that West Virginia will be playing three of those games at home to go along with a neutral-site tilt against BYU in nearby Maryland. If the Mountaineers get rolling again early, they could become a factor. Last year, four games against the Big 12's top four teams in October derailed West Virginia's hot start. This time around, the league schedule is far more manageable, with five conference games in Morgantown, including stalwarts TCU, Oklahoma and Baylor.
