This November might be one of the biggest months for Mountaineer athletics in a long time. Heading into the month there are currently five West Virginia teams that are nationally ranked or receiving votes in national rankings. There are also over 15 matchups where Mountaineer teams are set to face ranked opponents or teams that are receiving votes in national rankings, and that number looks like it could grow with a couple of WVU teams heading deeper into postseason play. We’ve narrowed down those big games for this month’s Top Five Games for Mountaineer Athletics.
