re: Are we looking at a LSU/Bama NC Rematch?

The problem with WVU though is they aren't used to playing a tough schedule. They play Oklahoma and Oklahoma State back to back. WVU the last few years is similar to FSU in the 90s (without the NC's of course) in that WVU in the Big East had 2 to 3 games in a season that they had to bring their A game. Even though the Big 12 isn't the SEC it's still a big step up from the Big East. WVU will have to bring their A game for every Big 12 game this year except for maybe Iowa State and Texas Tech. Other than those 2 teams any team in the Big 12 can beat WVU if they don't come ready to play. That is what's going to affect WVU this year. I could even see them potentially beating one of the Big 3 (Texas, Oklahoma, or Oklahoma State) but then losing to Kansas State or TCU. WVU will lose 3 games this year and I would put money down on that.
