With the departure of Arizona’s HC, I’ve tweaked the power rankings.
I want everyone to keep in mind these are not final standings predictions. These are the power rankings of what each team is returning next year. I believe
#WVU
may be returning the toughest team.

Will just have to wait & see how things play out.

now has a veteran O-line, 5-star QB, Sam James & Bryce Ford-Wheaton at WR and Tony Mathis in the backfield. I’m telling you now how tough it’s going to be for defenses to stop this offense.

My heart is truly in pieces for Huggs. Mainly because I’m tremendously worried about him, mentally & physically.
Not only did he throw this season down the drain…he retires without a nat’l title…that’s just gut wrenching.

No, but if we’re going to be consistent, then it absolutely stands. You can’t give the earlier “catch” by Pitt TE and not let this one stand. You just can’t.

Randi, you know I love y’all at AFT. But, the truth needs to be out. If the vaccine really worked, people wouldn’t be worried about the unvaccinated. 🤷♂️ Besides, when did it become others business to tell someone they “need” or “have” to take a vaccine? I love y’all, but stop it.

Wow. Just wow is all I can gather to say after watching that absolutely horrendous officiating during the WBB against Iowa. There’s no way you can be that lopsided and not have the refs in your back pocket. What a shame.

"I thought our crowd was huge. On third downs, on fourth downs and at the end of the game. That's special. I talked to our guys about that in the locker room just now. If they could bottle that feeling you have when singing country roads and sell it - it'd be priceless." - NB

WVU tailgates across a hospital parking lot, under a weird ass rail car track, and in people’s front yards with no central location. While forcing you to stand on a 45 degree slope the whole time lmao.
