West Virginia bounced back after a disappointing Week 1 loss to Penn State, defeating UAlbany by a 49-14 score. It took a little while for the Mountaineers to truly feel comfortable against the Great Danes who stormed back to make it a one-score game after an early 21-0 deficit.

This week will be a true barometer for the Mountaineers as they make the short trip up to Pittsburgh for the Backyard Brawl. With a win, they'll stay on course for most of their projected bowl destinations. A loss will have people wondering if WVU can even reach bowl eligibility.

Each week, we'll take a glance around the web to see what others think in terms of who, where, and what bowl the Mountaineers will play. Here are the updated projections entering Week 3.
