If you are hoping to see WVU football throw a massive wrench into the Big 12 Championship and College Football Playoff picture by pulling off a Top 5 upset, then the oddsmakers in Vegas have some bad news for you.

Most people are probably entering this week assuming that the Mountaineers, who enter 4-7 overall, will be no match for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, who will make the trek to Morgantown this weekend with a 10-1 overall record. Tech is also ranked No. 7 in the latest AP Poll, and was ranked at No. 5 in last week's edition of the College Football Playoff rankings.
