ESPN just released their post-spring football way-too-early Top 25 and the Mountaineers climbed two spots to number 20 on the list.
2016 record: 10-3, 7-2 Big 12
Last Way-Too-Early ranking: 22
Returning starters: 4 offense, 3 defense, 2 special teams
Outlook: There has been quite a bit of hype surrounding former Florida quarterback Will Grier, who transferred to West Virginia in April 2016. He looked as good as advertised in the Mountaineers' spring game, completing 12 of 18 passes for 202 yards, and drawing praise from coach Dana Holgorsen for his command of the offense and huddle.
