8. West Virginia Mountaineers: 12-1

West Virginia is just rolling through their slate of opponents right now. Not to mention, they did something that Louisville can never seem to do. The Mountaineers actually were able to beat the Virginia Cavaliers a few weeks ago. That’s pretty darn impressive.

I expect West Virginia to get through Texas Tech and TCU this week, but their next matchup with #4 Baylor will be one of their toughest games of the season.

With that being said, they do get to play the Bears in West Virginia and in college basketball, that can make all of the difference in the world.

Next: Number 9
