Should We Be Ranked In The Top 25?

PrintNot will we, but should we?
After seeing this early Top 25 from someone over at Bleacher Report, it got me thinking (I know, dangerous).
A lot of people may see Noel Devine and our defense and automatically pencil us in, like that guy did. But then again, if you dig just a little deeper, you realize we have a completely untested offensive line, young corners, still no proven short yardage plan, and a first-year starting quarterback. That doesn't exactly scream rankings, does it?
Can it all fall together? Of course. WVU has a knack for cranking out good offensive lines, so this year may be no different. There's certainly talent there (though, The 25314 would make sure you know that it will probably be squandered by coaching).
But, this early in the season, with so many question marks, do we deserve to be ranked in the top 25? What say you.

Too Many Question Marks
I wouldn’t put WVU into the Top 25 to start the season. There’s too many question marks outside of the defense. They can certainly make their way up the rankings, but I wouldn’t put them there Week 1. Plus Week 1 rankings are about as meaningless as it gets.
What a weird scenario
To think, we might be ranked come August on our name, not necessarily talent on the field. West Virignia, a name school getting respect for “no” reason. I love it.

HMMM
A little birdie told me that all Mountaineer fans thought we would go 3-9.
I guess people would rather be positive than doom and gloom all the time.
We should in the 20 – 25 range.
