Could the Big 12 end up having three different schools in the expanded 12-team college football playoff? The BYU Cougars, Texas Tech Red Raiders and Houston Cougars all have a shot. What do we make of the Utah Utes being handed College Gameday this weekend ahead of their matchup with the Cincinnati Bearcats? Is that a big win for the Big 12?

WVU Zach Frazier has gone VIRAL! What does that mean for the Steelers Center going forward? #wvu #mountaineers #big12 #collegefootball #nfl #westvirginia

On today's Locked On WVU, we dive deep into the elite 2026 duo shaking up West Virginia's class: Kevin Brown (4 OT, Penn State commit on the fence) and Miles Saddler (5 PG dropping his TOP 6 today—with WVU IN THE MIX!). Kevin Brown Spotlight: The 6'5", 270-lb Harrisburg beast (dad's a Mountaineer legend!) is LOVING his WVU visit by all accounts—raving about the vibes, facilities, and Rich Rod's vision. Legacy pull + scheme fit = flip potential?

Is this the bloodline lock we need for the trenches? Miles Saddler Deep Dive: The Canadian speed demon (6'0", 170 lbs) just narrowed to 6 schools—WVU MADE THE CUT thanks to Coach Yusuf Ali's MSU connection! 47.2/50 Hard-Edged Meter (9.8 playmaking) + EYBL MVP flashes (22 PPG, 7 APG). Explosive handles, vision for days, and NBA upside—could he be our next great floor general? We scout his strengths (shifty burst, mid-range killer) and how he fits Huggins' press.

#LockedOnWV #WVUMountaineers #PatMcAfee Hey Mountaineer Nation! On today's Locked On West Virginia, your host Mountaineer Paul breaks down the explosive Pat McAfee-ESPN saga that's got the sports world buzzing. From McAfee's viral rant calling out "old white people and old ESPN folks" behind College GameDay to the behind-the-scenes friction with producers who see him as an "entitled diva," we unpack how this diva's antics are shaking up the pregame powerhouse. Despite the backlash, McAfee's backed by bigwigs like Burke Magnus, Jimmy Pitaro, and even Bob Iger – making him bulletproof as GameDay smashes records (up 28% in viewership through Week 8 of 2025!). As a WVU fan, I can't ignore how McAfee's swagger has supercharged college football coverage, pulling in younger viewers and rivaling Fox's Big Noon Kickoff. But is his public whining good for the game, or just bad for business? We tie it back to the Mountaineers' own high-stakes world – think Neal Brown's portal moves mirroring ESPN's talent wars. Plus, quick hits on WVU's latest recruiting buzz and why McAfee's loyalty to his crew (like footing the bill for GameDay perks) reminds me of our Eers' unbreakable spirit. Tune in for the raw takes, laughs, and why McAfee might just be the Stone Cold Steve Austin of sports media. Let's ride those country roads to truth – Go Eers!#LockedOnWV #WVUMountaineers #PatMcAfee #CollegeGameDay #ESPNDrama #MountaineerNation #Big12Football #WVUFootball #CollegeFootball #LetGoMountaineers #wvu #westvirginia #mountaineers #collegesports

In this can't-miss episode of Locked On West Virginia, we dive deep into Coach Rich Rod's fiery weekly chat from Kegler's Sports Bar & Grille. From ripping the UCF meltdown ("We stunk on every side of the ball!") to exposing the brutal truth behind last year's recruiting flops—blaming a cash-strapped budget that left holes unfilled and top targets slipping away—RR is unfiltered. But there's hope: WVU's now in a "completely different spot" financially, with AD alignment, donor buy-in, and a $10M+ fundraising push on top of $13M revenue sharing to fuel NIL firepower and land those "grown men" in the portal.
