## Resource

West Virginia has spent the entire offseason being overlooked by national media... But today... something changed. In On3's anonymous Big 12 coaches poll, the Mountaineers received a second-place vote, despite entering the season with a projected win total of just 5.5 games. Who cast that vote? Why do coaches inside the conference seem much higher on Rich Rodriguez's team than national analysts? And could this be another sign that West Virginia is one of the most dangerous dark horses in all of college football? Let's break it all down. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
