Predicting Where WVU Will be Ranked in the New AP Top 25

How far will West Virginia fall after losing two games this week?

The Mountaineers failed to take advantage of a four-game home stretch to end the regular season by going 2-2 in those games and 1-2 this week with losses against No. 3 Baylor and No. 17 Oklahoma State. The lone win came against TCU, who sits near the bottom of the conference.

Luckily for West Virginia, it seems like everyone with a number beside their name has been losing games over the last couple of weeks, and with their losses coming against ranked teams, it should keep them from tumbling down the polls.

So that brings us to our weekly Monday morning question: Where will the Mountaineers be ranked in this week's AP Top 25 Poll?

Here's my prediction for this week's rankings:

Ceiling: 9th

Floor: 12th

Prediction: 10th
