WVU #8......7 0f 9 Big 12 teams in top 15...........Arkansas #1......no b10 teams in top 15......looks like the conference will have to change some rules again
Toughest football schedules for 2021

Having a difficult SOS typically indicates your team is a bottom feeder; thus, everybody on your schedule is deemed to be a difficult opponent. (See Arkansas at #1 as Exhibit A)
Quick question though . . .
Is this your way of waving the 'white flag', even though we're only in the middle of April, a full 4 1/2 months before the season kicks off? Appears to be.

I know they play the sharks from Long Island U. Believe they also have to open at Maryland. Not sure about the other team, but maybe it's the Hokies. Can't remember without looking it up, but think somebody mentioned it a few weeks back.
Iowa State volunteered to be their rival. Thought this would be a one sided rivalry, but never dreamed the Cyclones would be so far ahead of the cousins on the gridiron. Might make sense to switch to the Jayhawks???
Hahahahahahahahahaha, the mighty Sharks from LIU! Terps not a bad game even though the Turtles ain't worth shit.
Maryland will be ready for the cousins. Wouldn't put much money on that one, if I were an eer fan.
I agree , it'll be a dogfight! I saw the Terps get crushed by Northwestern to open last season and quickly gave up on them but that's probably not fair.
Ancient dumba$$ SlowHead hasn't figured out yet that this SOS nonsense was created by ESPiN, which created a fictional Top 25 loaded with Big 12 teams, then determined SOS based off of its laughable rankings. ESPiN ranked Oklahoma #2, Iowa State #4, and Ohio State #5. I'm eager to place a wager with SirSlowHead that two Big 12 teams don't finish the season in the Top 4. That's never gonna happen.
WVU is one of a handful of teams to have 11 games scheduled against P-5 opponents, which is probably the reason for our high SOS ranking. Ahia State doesn't do it and neither does Meatchicken.
You criticize our only non P-5 game with LIU while your team has a game slated against NC Central - a school that no one ever heard of. And on top of that Marshall has a grand total of ZERO P-5's scheduled this year.
B1G has to keep the MAC afloat, so you'll always see them playing a fair share of home games against MAC opponents. Typically, you'll see in-state Power 5 B1Gs try to play MAC programs within their own state, just to keep all money in-state. More reason for WVU to schedule the Herd, as opposed to the sharks.
The fact of the matter is our schedule for the next few years has 11 P-5's on it, and the 12th game is ALWAYS going to be an early season home game against a lesser opponent. Marshall could be that lesser opponent if they would realize their place in the pecking order. Your point about the B1G having to keep the MAC afloat is BS. Ahia State and Meatchicken play the MAC schools for an easy win, and it's always a home game for the Big Ten schools.
No, it certainly isn't BS. B1G schools give out nice paydays to MAC opponents, who typically are able to bus to B1G locations to play, and receive a nice pay check. Those are not always easy wins. Your boy Rod struggled in some games against the MAC, including losing to Toledo once. Other MAC teams win on occasion against B1G programs. Lastly, it's not ALWAYS a home game for B1G schools. It is for programs like Ohio State, Michigan, and likely a few others, but I know for a fact that B1G opponents have traveled to MAC fields in the past. It wasn't that long ago Michigan State played Western Michigan in Kalamazoo. Granted, those games are few and far between, but lesser programs will go on the road to play a G5 opponent in their house. WVU would be considered one of those lesser programs, and can even save money by bussing to Huntington. (Call -1-800-The-Herd to make arrangements)
Maybe you are too dense to understand that WVU has 11 P-5's on the schedule for the next few years and the 12th game is ALWAYS going to be a HOME game against a lesser opponent and we will reward them handsomely for coming to Morgantown. Marshall could use the money but their foolish pride keeps them from recognizing their place in the pecking order.
Not dense, because I totally understand the fear involved when it comes to WVU scheduling the Herd. I've had to see it first hand for many years now.
the lets see the wolverines visit the joan...they certainly are a lesser program these days
112,000 plus seats means a team like the Herd comes to Michigan, as would WVU. Michigan pays well. WVU, not so much.
You're a broken record about the 11 Power 5 games, birdsh!t. Ohio State played 11 Power 5 schools a few years ago when y'all were bragging about scheduling 11, but a hurricane saved you from having to play at N.C. State. We have Oregon on this year's slate, and the Old Fold & Blew's scheduling of B1G and ACC bottom-feeders doesn't measure up to that. Scheduling 11 Power 5 schools doesn't mean sh!t, if you don't play good teams. Ohio State doesn't play FCS schools, either, so enjoy another cupcake win just like last season vs. EKU.
WVU would not come to michigan without a return game......mountaineers have not been kind to wolverines lately though
WVU has never beaten Michigan in any sport worth watching, and possibly no sport at all.
You had to play us in hoops a few years back, and Beilien embarrassed tHuggs.
You probably attended the 130 to 0 game, which was the one time WVU had the courage to play Michigan. I think that was in 1906.
UGA ( P-5) played UC (G-5) in the Peach Bowl on New Year's day. Buzz no doubt thinks the P-5 team won 176-0 over the Bearcats, rather than what actually happened.
