West Virginia Still Gets Some Love in Newest AP Top 25 Poll

West Virginia was beaten soundly last Saturday against Penn State at home, 34-12. Despite the lopsided season-opener, the Mountaineers are still receiving two votes in the newest AP Top 25 poll. This is likely a nod to how good Penn State is and a couple of voters believe WVU will bounce back and still have a strong season.

The Mountaineers will look to get back on track this week with a home date with FCS opponent, Albany. West Virginia is 24-0 all-time against teams from the FCS level.
