Most challenging Big 12 stretch

1/15 at Houston
1/18 vs. Iowa State
1/21 vs. Arizona State
1/25 at Kansas State
1/29 vs. Houston

We could even include the first four games of league play too with a trip to Kansas, hosting Arizona, and games with Oklahoma State and Colorado, but wanted to keep this to a five-game stretch. Although three of these five are at home, two of the three visiting Morgantown are likely to be in the top 25.

Weakest Big 12 stretch

2/2 at Cincinnati
2/5 at TCU
2/8 vs. Utah
2/11 vs. BYU

The Big 12 is so competitive it's hard to tell which teams will squander to the bottom, but on paper this appears to be an opportunity for the Mountaineers to string together some wins.
