Mountaineers Climb in Rankings

AP Top 25: #13
USA Today: #16

After Saturday's dominating 43-16 win over Connecticut, the Mountaineers (5-1, 1-0) moved up three spots in both the AP and USA Today polls. Auburn and Texas, both previously ranked ahead of the Mountaineers in the AP poll, lost on Saturday.

With their only loss coming to LSU (#1 AP, #2 USA Today), the Mountaineers should continue to climb in the polls if they take care of business on the field. WVU has no bad losses, but is also lacking a signature win. With no ranked opponents left on the schedule, West Virginia will need to continue lighting up the scoreboard.
