Just when we thought the disrespect couldn't get any worse, two more major media outlets—ESPN and CFBudge—have released their Big 12 football predictions, and you won’t believe where they have the West Virginia Mountaineers.

In today's video, I’m reacting to these "bottom-tier" rankings and breaking down why the media continues to sleep on Neal Brown and this WVU roster. Is the Big 12 really this stacked, or is this just more WVU hate? Let’s dive into the data, the disrespect, and what this means for the upcoming season.

In this video, we discuss:

ESPN’s shocking Big 12 power rankings.

CFBudge’s prediction for the Mountaineers.

Why WVU football is being undervalued again.

My honest reaction to the media’s Big 12 bottom-feeders list.

What do YOU think? Are these rankings fair, or is WVU about to prove everyone wrong? Drop your record predictions in the comments!
