In today’s Big 12 mailbag, we discuss the Way-Too-Early Preseason Top 25 expectations, 2017 recruiting, muscular referees and much more.
@max_olson Any keys reasons why WVU isn't in the way to early top 25 ranking?
Max Olson: He's referring to Mark Schlabach's Way-Too-Early Top 25, which features five Big 12 teams but not West Virginia. Just my opinion: I would've put West Virginia in that Top 25 instead of TCU. The knock on West Virginia will be that the defense will lose eight starters, but I'd trust Tony Gibson and his staff will plug those holes with talented subs.
