The Mountaineers couldn't take care of business and, sad to say, they were beaten by a superior team last night. Heartbreaking, really. I thought they had a shot. Now there's no title game, probably no BCS bowl or Big East title either. So how far do they fall in the polls? I'm guessing out of the Top 10. And how do they salvage the rest of the season?

they wont fall out of the top 10 is my guess and as long as they beat cincy rutgers and pitt, they can stay in big east contetion with rutgers beating lousiville, which ive stated before i belive will happen. What you take from it is, pat white reminds me alot of vince young, everything went to **** he hurt his ankle, he strapped his helmet back on and CARRIED That team, without him that game is a blowout. I belive steve slaton let the team down and could of played earlier. But im going to tell someone to risk their career over a game. But Pat White did make a big name for himself last night and people dont forget the fact they had more total yards then them i think the future for wvu looks great

You'd have to give a slight edge to Rutgers, playing at home and with an undefeated season in the balance. Louisville is a somewhat better team, but they figure to be less than their best emotionally---as Kirk Herbstreit would say, suffering "a hangover."

Yeah, the Big East is pretty much wide up at this point. The winner of Rutgers - Louisville certainly has the inside track. What happens if the Knights beat the Cards, then lose to WVU? Which team would get the BCS bowl bid due the conference champ?

[mervinout]

well this is how it works, in a three way tie, in the case of wvu losing to the cards and beating rutgers , and the cards beating wvu and losing to rutgers. it goes to who has the highest ranking in the bcs.

Hey, L'ville - WVU was a great game - the Mountaineers dominated on the ground and Louisville dominated in the air. The punt return and the fumble return TDs are what did us in. But with the improvement of Cincy, USF, Rutgers, and Pitt, WHAT A GREAT CONFERENCE this is! Whether our conference winner can play OSU or Michigan in the champ. game, it gives us a great chance to pass up the SEC and start reversing the perception that they are the best conference in the country. What a joke - so let's prove it!
