WVU is literally dead last among ALL POWER 5 conferences


I know WVU fans don't like the US News rankings (wonder why) - but they are literally dead last at #228 among all power conference teams. My point is - that matters, a lot. My other point was that if WVU's football program were on an elite level, it could easily be overcome. It's not. The fact that Louisville made it in means that it's possible - but that was not easy.

ACC:
10. Duke
15. Notre Dame
27. Wake Forest
28. Virginia
29. Georgia Tech
29. North Carolina
37. Boston College
54. Syracuse
57T. Florida State
57T. U of Miami
57T. Pitt
70. Clemson
74. Virginia Tech
84. NC State
192. Louisville

Here are the other power conferences which border the ACC

Big Ten: 9. Northwestern, 25. Michigan, 46. Wisconsin, 48. Illinois, 54. Ohio State, 57. Penn State, 57. Purdue, 62. Rutgers, 64. Maryland, 70. Minnesota, 79. Indiana, 84. Michigan State, 84. Iowa, 139. Nebraska

SEC: 15. Vanderbilt, 34. Florida, 50. Georgia, 70. Texas A&M, 104. Auburn, 104. S Carolina, 104. Tennessee, 132. Kentucky, 139. Missouri, 153. LSU, 153. Alabama, 153. Arkansas, 162. Mississippi, 211. Miss. State

Big XII: 48. Texas, 79. Baylor, 97. TCU, 121. Iowa State, 130. Kansas, 132. Oklahoma, 162. Kansas State, 192. Oklahoma St, 218. Texas Tech, 241. WEST VIRGINIA

Don't have Pac-12 on hand but the 2 lowest are likely WSU and OSU and both are well ahead of WVU. Their acceptance rate is freaking 82%. It's a huge hurdle for them to overcome.
