With the West Virginia University football team on a bye week and with two games remaining on the schedule, it’s that time to look ahead to bowl season. Some projections have WVU in the Liberty Bowl playing Tennessee, and the bowl would love to have the Mountaineers.
After back-to-back losses, ESPN has other ideas and just updated their Bowl Projections for Week 12.
Where does West Virginia land and is trip to Texas up next?
