Man Marshall fans do all they can to make any WVU success seem unjustified.
If you don't like WVU fine, I mean it's jealousy for sure, but whatever, you don't have to like WVU.
Missouri isn't having a good season, but they're not terrible. Plus every team plays hard in the season opener, especially with a new coach. Then after you take a few L's, the team confidence goes down and you don't play as well. Losing a heartbreaking game to Georgia can do that. Playing @LSU and vs. Florida back to back is incredibly challenging.
BYU is like 8 total points away from being undefeated. They barely lost to Utah, UCLA, WVU and Boise State. All with a new coach. BYU is a quality win regardless of their record this season.
Texas Tech and TCU are both good teams, even if they're having "down" years. Losing on the road in the Big 12 is easy to do, except against maybe Kansas, who is actually playing decent football this season. Texas Tech doesn't play defense, which clearly is why they don't have a better record.
TCU is "down" although its losses were a 3 point loss to Arkansas where they basically gave the game to Arkansas. They also barely lost to Oklahoma. Who is good and if you justify Oklahoma not being good because they lost to Houston, who lost to SMU and Navy, well then you aren't very knowledgeable about football.
WVU SOS is in the 30s, which is good. Their OOC scheduling is better than TONS of FBS teams. You can't control who is "up" or "down" when you schedule these teams. When they were scheduled, both teams were Top 25 regularly.
RECORD DOESN'T INDICATE EVERYTHING
It's why Ole Miss (3-4) would even be a challenging game for Alabama (Oh wait, it already was 43-48 game). And why 3-4 Ole Miss would actually beat Marshall to a bloody pulp.
Marshall fans are pissy because they had high expectations for the season, their team is garbage this year, and WVU is having success. Spin it however you want.
