• West Virginia Mountaineers #1 Big 12 Power Rankings: Can They Stay? | Beatline Mountaineers
    2026/08/23
    West Virginia Mountaineers are sitting at number one in the Big 12 power rankings despite a 0-0 record. Whitney and Terry break down why the Mountaineers top the preseason list, analyzing the dominant offensive line, deep skill positions, and the looming quarterback question between Max Brown and Michael Hawkins Jr. With Coastal Carolina up first on September 5th, the hosts debate the team's strengths and weaknesses.

    The episode covers the offensive line anchored by Malik Agbo, Trevor Bigelow, and Landen Livingston, plus a deep receiving corps with Jaden Bray, DJ Epps, and Keon Hutchins. The running back stable includes Lawrence Autry, Cam Cook, and Darius Morant. The biggest question mark is the quarterback competition, with Max Brown expected to start. The defense remains unproven, especially the secondary.

    Terry predicts under nine wins while Whitney sticks with over nine. The Big 12 is a gauntlet, but the Mountaineers' talent could lead to a playoff run. Subscribe for daily Mountaineers coverage.
