How could a West Virginia team that gives up 50 points a game -- a porous defense -- be in the top 5? Talk about east coast bias. When a west coast team gives up more than 40, they are a lousy defense. When a WV gives up that many, wow, they are a More..

They also did that against Baylor and Texas...the latter having a good defense in most years. That is the difference. They did it against good programs with good records.
