Could the Big 12 end up having three different schools in the expanded 12-team college football playoff? The BYU Cougars, Texas Tech Red Raiders and Houston Cougars all have a shot. What do we make of the Utah Utes being handed College Gameday this weekend ahead of their matchup with the Cincinnati Bearcats? Is that a big win for the Big 12?

Locked On WVU Podcast Episode Description: Brown & Saddler BreakdownEpisode Title Suggestion: "5 Saddler’s Top 6 Bombshell + Brown’s Morgantown Love: WVU’s 2026 Flip Watch?"YouTube/Podcast Description: BREAKING RECRUITING HEAT in Morgantown! On today's Locked On WVU, we dive deep into the elite 2026 duo shaking up West Virginia's class: Kevin Brown (4 OT, Penn State commit on the fence) and Miles Saddler (5 PG dropping his TOP 6 today—with WVU IN THE MIX!). Kevin Brown Spotlight: The 6'5", 270-lb Harrisburg beast (dad's a Mountaineer legend!) is LOVING his WVU visit by all accounts—raving about the vibes, facilities, and Rich Rod's vision. Legacy pull + scheme fit = flip potential? We break down his pancake power (zero sacks allowed last season), 45.8/50 Hard-Edged Meter (elite strength at 9.8), and why Penn State's chaos makes WVU the smart play. Is this the bloodline lock we need for the trenches?

Miles Saddler Deep Dive: The Canadian speed demon (6'0", 170 lbs) just narrowed to 6 schools—WVU MADE THE CUT thanks to Coach Yusuf Ali's MSU connection! 47.2/50 Hard-Edged Meter (9.8 playmaking) + EYBL MVP flashes (22 PPG, 7 APG). Explosive handles, vision for days, and NBA upside—could he be our next great floor general? We scout his strengths (shifty burst, mid-range killer) and how he fits Huggins' press.

Why This Matters: Land one? Top 25 class. Land both? Top 15 explosion. Visits + top lists = momentum city. Subscribe for daily WVU gold!

#LockedOnWV #WVUMountaineers #PatMcAfee

Hey Mountaineer Nation! On today's Locked On West Virginia, your host Mountaineer Paul breaks down the explosive Pat McAfee-ESPN saga that's got the sports world buzzing. From McAfee's viral rant calling out "old white people and old ESPN folks" behind College GameDay to the behind-the-scenes friction with producers who see him as an "entitled diva," we unpack how this diva's antics are shaking up the pregame powerhouse. Despite the backlash, McAfee's backed by bigwigs like Burke Magnus, Jimmy Pitaro, and even Bob Iger – making him bulletproof as GameDay smashes records (up 28% in viewership through Week 8 of 2025!). As a WVU fan, I can't ignore how McAfee's swagger has supercharged college football coverage, pulling in younger viewers and rivaling Fox's Big Noon Kickoff. But is his public whining good for the game, or just bad for business? We tie it back to the Mountaineers' own high-stakes world – think Neal Brown's portal moves mirroring ESPN's talent wars. Plus, quick hits on WVU's latest recruiting buzz and why McAfee's loyalty to his crew (like footing the bill for GameDay perks) reminds me of our Eers' unbreakable spirit. Tune in for the raw takes, laughs, and why McAfee might just be the Stone Cold Steve Austin of sports media. Let's ride those country roads to truth – Go Eers!#LockedOnWV #WVUMountaineers #PatMcAfee #CollegeGameDay #ESPNDrama #MountaineerNation #Big12Football #WVUFootball #CollegeFootball #LetGoMountaineers
