The Mountaineers finished their regular season at 6-6 and will be playing in a Bowl game.
WVU head coach Neal Brown was fired on Sunday, but offensive coordinator/running backs coach Chad Scott was announced as the interim head coach for the bowl game. The transfer portal opens on Dec. 9 and some West Virginia players have already announced their intentions to enter it.
It is yet to be determined who will play in the bowl for the Mountaineers. For the time being, though, let’s explore some of the most recent Bowl projections for WVU.
West Virginia will officially learn what Bowl they are playing in and who they’ll be playing on Sunday.
Kyle Bongura, ESPN (Dec. 1) — Independence Bowl vs. Louisana
Mark Schlabach, ESPN (Dec. 1) — Independence Bowl vs. Louisana
Erick Smith, USA Today (Dec. 2) — First Responder Bowl vs. North Carolina State
Brett McMurphy, Action Network (Dec. 2) — Independence Bowl vs. Memphis
Bill Bender, The Sporting News (Dec. 3) — Armed Forces Bowl vs. Virginia Tech
Brad Crawford, 247Sports (Dec. 1) — Independence Bowl vs. Army
Doesn’t matter who or where they play. I expect a great effort from depleted ranks. In today’s environment, unless a perennial top ten team, better give a new coach at least 7 years to build a repeatable program.
