If West Virginia ends up at either of these bowls, it will be a major step in the wrong direction.
Despite coming off of a nine-win season and returning most of their key talent on both sides of the ball,is not being viewed as a true contender in the Big 12. As a matter of fact, most analysts and sportsbooks believe they'll barely become bowl eligible.Mark Schlabach: vs. Kentucky in AutoZone Liberty
Excuse me? The Gasparilla Bowl? What are we doing here? I mean, the Liberty Bowl isn't a great projection either, but it has at least a little more history and value. For either of these projections to hold true, this likely means West Virginia only picks up six or seven wins. I just can't envision a scenario where this actually happens. Oh wait, maybe one - injuries, and a lot of them.
Why so many folks are down on West Virginia, I have no idea. If they just look at the percentage of returning players on defense and think, wow, this team is in some trouble, that's lazy research. While WVU's defense may not be a top of the league unit, it's going to be significantly better than it was in 2023.
Don't be shocked if you see these nearly weekly bowl projections change dramatically for WVU within the first few weeks of the regular season.Publisher of Mountaineers Now on FanNation/Sports Illustrated.
