Back to Football: The Sunday Polls & Mississippi State

BCS LogoThe BCS Poll is out today, the first one of the season. My hats off to USF for their #2 ranking. Every poll has them at #2 by the way, it seems that Auburn win was a lot more impressive now. That is an insane ranking for such a young team. Congrats! Let’s just see if they can stay up there with all of the tough games coming down the pike.

In the other polls out today, WVU fared well, although it seems in the damn computer scoring system in the BCS calculation is killing us. But it’s nice to see that a one loss WVU team is still ranked higher than an undefeated Kansas team. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Polls and where we stand

  • USA Today Coaches Poll: #7
  • Harris Poll: #8
  • AP Poll: #9
  • BCS: #9

HOMECOMING!!

This Saturday we host Mississippi State. I’m already reading that some think this might be a trap game for WVU. I did notice that Miss. State hung with Auburn and South Carolina in close games so far this season. Will those games prepare them for what they are walking into at Mountaineer Field on the 2oth?

I don’t think so. The crowd is going to be insane because we’re going to have an extra 3.5 hours to tailgate and we haven’t seen a home game in about a month.

As far as the team goes, they’ll be ready. White is rested and healthy. Slaton wants back in the Heisman Race. Schmitt wants to play 5 different positions. Coach Rod loves to beat the SEC. These guys know what they have to do to get to the Orange Bowl, they will be focused, ready, and rested for Miss State. I can’t wait to beat the other Bulldogs of the SEC! (talk about an identity crisis)

My way way too early prediction for the upcoming game: WVU 58 – Miss State 20
