14. West Virginia Mountaineers

Previous Ranking: 13

Record: 13-2 (2-1 Big 12)

WVU dropped a bit due to their OT loss at Texas Tech, but not too much after beating TCU in Morgantown. The Mountaineers have a must-watch game with undefeated Baylor coming up early this week.

Right now, Esa Ahmad continues to lead the team in scoring with 12.9 points, while previous leader Nathan Adrian has dropped to 9.9 points per game. Daxter Miles (11.1 points) and Jevon Carter (10.5 points) have filled the gap for the balanced “Press Virginia” attack. I can’t wait to see how WVU’s frenetic style does against Baylor’s 341st adjusted tempo.
