Power Ranking the 2017 WVU Football Schedule

Yes, I know the 2017 schedule for the West Virginia football team. We know our opponents, dates and locations—and even a couple times. However, schedules are not only viewed in chronological order. I polled the Musket staffers and ranked each game in order of importance, match up, excited and whatever other categories each writer chose. Here’s how we ranked the schedule.

1. Virginia Tech, Sunday, September 3, 7:30 p.m., FedEx Field, Landover, Md.

Neutral site season-opener against a rival and geographic enemy? Yeah, this one had to be the first on the list. The Hokies and Mountaineers meet for the first time since 2005 to open the 2017 and renew a hatred that never really died (for at least one side).
