I see we have some non believers. We will see what you say at 11-1
theres not much difference between lsu, oklahoma, and west virginia. are they BETTER than lsu or oklahoma? im not sure. but i do know that if given anything more than (+3) in a hypothetical matchup down the road, id be all over the mountaineers.
Sure they're better. They have better athletes and play better competition. When it comes to the BCS game the big boys are battle tested where WV's big game against SF (which they got crushed) doesn't really cut it.
sec and acc have been playing better competition for quite some time now. that didnt bother wvu in their bowl matchups. if wvu could match up with power conference teams the L2 years with slaton/white/et al, why wouldnt they be able to this year, esp with their best team yet? im hardly a wvu supporter. but they can play with anyone.
