Clueless IDIOT Puts WVU in the “Below Mid” Tier- Let’s Expose Him!

CFB Budge just placed WVU Football in the “Below Mid Sadly” tier entering the 2026 season—and Mountaineer Paul is here to expose exactly why that take makes absolutely no sense. We’re breaking down everything he overlooked about Rich Rodriguez’s second West Virginia team: Michael Hawkins Jr. at quarterback, Cam Cook leading the backfield, improved talent in the trenches, greater depth across the roster and a culture that finally appears completely bought in. Is WVU guaranteed to contend for the Big 12 championship? No. But calling this team “below mid” ignores its legitimate upside, favorable opportunities and the major improvements happening in Morgantown. Let’s examine his argument, compare it with the actual evidence and explain why WVU could make this preseason ranking look absolutely ridiculous. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
