MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia returned to the Top 25 rankings on Sunday, bolstered by a 3-0 start that played out easier than expected.
The Mountaineers surfaced at No. 23 in the Associated Press poll and at No. 21 in the coaches rankings. This week’s much-awaited matchup at Oklahoma finds the Sooners ranked 15th by the AP and No. 14 by the coaches.
The Oklahoma game kicks off at 11 a.m. Central on FoxSports1, not exactly a primo spot for one of the weekend’s better games.
After whipping Maryland 45-6 on Saturday, West Virginia closed the nonconference schedule by outscoring opponents 130-23.
