As of right now.
The Top 4 are clearly defined going into next year
Oklahoma
Texas
Iowa State
Baylor
Then you have
TCU
Oklahoma State
I think WV could realistically finish anywhere from third to seventh.
Missouri is a tough non conference game.
7-5 to 5-7 sounds realistic.
But it is way too early
If we had a proven QB coming back, I would be more optimistic. We have 2 young guys with potential, but have seen very little from them. We will have some inevitable attrition, so how much and who is a concern.
I see possible wins as:
- JMU
- NC State (they come to Morgantown and will be breaking in a new QB)
- Kansas (new coach, too & Miles won’t have LSU to bail him out of coaching gaffes)
- Kansas State (new coach, too - offense needs life breathed into it)
- Texas Tech (new coach, too & play in Morgantown)
Games where we might upset someone:
- Baylor (are getting better, but not there yet)
- TCU (always tough, but need improved QB play over 2018)
- Oklahoma State (play in Morgantown & have a new OC)
- Iowa State (play in Morgantown - if it were in Ames I wouldn’t place them here)
- Missouri (playing in Missouri but no proven QB)
Games where most will have a loss penciled in for WVU:
- Texas (probably return more than anybody else)
- Oklahoma (playing in Norman we haven’t beaten them since joining B12)
