13. West Virginia Mountaineers

Previous Ranking: 16

Record: 10-1 

The Mountaineers rolled through their past four opponents by an average of 40 points to get to their current record. They get Northern Kentucky on Friday before traveling to Stillwater for their Big 12 opener.

Press Virginia has forward Esa Ahmad leading the charge, averaging 12.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. Stretch forward Nathan Adrian has cooled recently, but also chips in 10.8 points and a team-leading 6.1 rebounds. Overall, this is a team capable of challenging Kansas with their depth and aggression.
