When EA Sports officially dropped the College Football 25 video game, I did an article simulating West Virginia's 2024 season with a complete breakdown of schedule results, stats, Big 12 standings, and more.

It was one of our most popular articles of the summer, but I had a lot of fans reach out and say that I should do one that has multiple simulations to get a better feel for what the game thinks of WVU. So that's what I did early this morning. I simulated the 2024 WVU football season ten times and typed out the schedule results along with placement in the Big 12 standings.

Before you comb through each simulation, here are a few notes I compiled from the results.
