There are 3 games this weekend between teams ranked 1-17 who are playing each other; ranked ahead of WVU in the CFP.
There are 2 games with teams ranked ahead of WVU playing teams ranked below WVU in the CFP.
There are 7 games with teams ranked ahead of WVU playing unranked teams, some of them will be very competitve like MSU/PSU. Others like Clemson/SC, not so much.
Upsets in this group will help WVU move up in the rankings as will OU over OSU. That probably negates the CMU non-loss, though they still have the H2H. Might make a difference on bowl selections.
With a good win Saturday, and a little help I think WVU gets inside the top 15 on Tuesday.
