I was a little suprised but not too suprised that I read a blog from a WVU (West Virginia) that said his team should have been ranked #2 ahead of an overrated Michigan team. Even with the BCS rankings out now with WVU coming in at #3 it does not mean that WVU can even play in the BCS title game. OSU and Michigan are both rated so high and closely that the loser of the Nov. 18th showdown may not even drop past #2 anyway.
Don't get me wrong West Virginia has a terrific team this year. Their toughest opponent though is their schedule. They have one of the most pathetic schedules with only Louisville as a threat to beat them the entire year. When was the last time WVU went into a top ranked teams stadium and smacked them around like Michigan did to then #2 ranked Notre Dame and Ohio State did to Texas? Well they never have and certainly haven't this year.
Respect is earned and not given. Also Michigan is 9-0, WVU is 7-0. Michigan beat Wisconsin (8-1) Notre Dame (7-1) and Penn State and 2 of 3 were on the road. Penn States two losses came from who else? Michigan and Ohio State. Michigan also boasts the number one defense as well. Besides WVU fans, all you have to do is win out and your team has a shot at the National Title, until they play Michigan or Ohio State in the title game. Then it may get embarrassing.
I think the argument is now over that WV is better than Michigan. Although Michigan does not slaughter their teams, they win comfortably. WV is nowhere as good as Michigan.
THIS IS ABOUT THE STUPIDEST DAMN BLOG EVER. YEAH WN PLAYS SO MANY HARD TEAMS IF YOU CONSIDER DIV. 2 FILLED WITH HARD TEAMS NAME 3 TOP 15 TOP RANKED TEAMS THEY PLAY? NOPE CANT DO IT CAN YOU. NEXT TIME ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR GOING TO SAY BEFORE YOU TYPE IT OUT SO EVERYBODY DOESNT LAUGH AT YOU, IM TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT. THEY PLAY ONE HARD TEAM LOUISVILLE AND WHAT HAPPENED I THINK YOU REMEMBER, EVEN IF YOU DONT WANT TO. AND NO I AM NOT A LOUISVILLE FAN EITHER, I THINK THE SAME AS THEM TO
It's a no win argument: When Fox has bloggers from Michigan or Ohio State or anywhere else but WVU, naturally you're going to chose your own team. The funny part is that you actually believe you're being "objective" (or at least you want the rest of us to think so). WVU has 2 legit Heiseman candidates and is returning most of its starters from last year. Stand back, little boys...The Mountaineers are gonna go through you like water through a river.

Amen, AFF. I remember during the Sugar Bowl, when a very humble Georgia fan stated, "This Mountaineer team is so fast, they are on the bench before any Dawg player can turn around." Name recognition is one thing (Michigan, Penn State, Oklahoma, Florida State, Ohio State, etc.), but putting it on the field is another. White, Slaton, and company have proven it before, can prove it again, and will continue to be in the limelight from here on in.
Time to realize it, boys and girls, the old guard is gone. There's a new Superman in town, and there is no Kryptonite to be seen anywhere in the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, or anywhere else.
