OUR PREDICTION: The Mountaineers have won three of the previous five matchups, including the last two. Texas Tech has also lost 12 of its last 13 games against AP ranked opponents, including nine in a row. The last time the Red Raiders won against a ranked team came back in 2013 when they beat Arizona State. With West Virginia seeking its first 5-0 start since 2012, lay the small amount of points and hope the Mountaineers can hold up defensively against the explosive Red Raiders.
