Doogitywoogity	24	Big win over a Virginia squad I hold in high regards. WVU is 3-0 and looks like they could make noise in the Big XII this year. Still a very outside threat, but maybe Rich Rodriguez has them rolling in the right direction now. I will admit I haven’t watched enough of them to have a good opinion at this point, but I like what I am seeing in the results column and the box scores.

Pyromania1983	25	The Mountaineers have some solid expectations from year-to-year but never seem to live up to them. They flipped the script in their first three games this year, actually looking really good after not having many expectations. Their Week 3 win over Virginia was a big win for WVU. Virginia had looked really good in their first two games, but the Mountaineers looked better in this one, putting up almost 100 more yards and 11 more points in just about 7 fewer minutes. 7/15 on third downs is huge, as well!

d1sportsball	14	West Virginia has quietly risen to 3-0, and they've looked impressive doing it. The offensive duo of Michael Hawkins and Cam Cook are reigniting the old Rich Rod style and look to be a big threat in the Big 12. As for their resume, UVA was a top 4 team in the ACC and maybe still is, and despite being 10.5 point dogs, WVU won handily by 11.

thatoneguyD13	21	Tier 4. Solid road win against Virginia.
_THE__BOULDER_	22	A two score win over what I think could be a decent to good Virginia team in a neutral site game - the Duke's Mayo Classic in Charlotte. West Virginia enters the rankings for the first time for me, coming in at 3-0 and a win over the team I had ranked at 21 last week. Although playing to catch up in the first quarter, West Virginia took the lead in Q2 just before half and never really looked back, answering Virginia's tying TD by going ahead late in the 3rd, then stretching the lead in the 4th with Virginia scoring a garbage time TD (21 seconds left) to make it a bit closer. Final score of 38-27. QB Michael Hawkins Jr didn't throw too much, but was 10/17 for 2 TDs and 190 yards, looked pretty decent, especially when combined with WVU's running attack which rushed for 247 yards on the day. Defense is gaining consistency as well, but still open to being hit by some big plays. Let's see how things play out for the Mountaineers.
