With a win over the ranked Red Raiders, West Virginia shows everyone that they still plan to contend for the Big XII Championship as well. though they sit in 4th place in the Conference for the moment. 
I'm struggling to understand why computers are so down on this team. Two 7 point losses against two very good teams, big wins against inferior opponents, and now a quality win against Texas Tech.
The Mountaineers' two losses have come by one score against VT and TCU. Those performances told us more about their quality than three blowout wins over horrible teams earlier in the season. They finally sealed the deal against a solid Texas Tech squad and should be capable of pulling off some even better wins as the year goes on.
