#WVUFootball #LandonWalker #JonasMuya West Virginia is hosting TWO of the most physically imposing players in around this weekend! Colorado School of Mines grad transfer RB Landon Walker (6-2, 225, 4.50, 2,220+ yards, 6.5 ypc, runs like he hates you) and 2026 OT Jonas Muya (6-7, 280, 87-88" wing, first year playing football, already looks like a future 1st-round pick).Landon Walker is the most violent, physical running back in the entire portal — period. 45.4 Hard-Edged Meter. Texas tough. Blake Corum with 15 extra pounds of hate. If Rich Rod lands him, the Mountaineers just found their 180-touch bell cow for 2026.Jonas Muya is a basketball convert who decided to play football this year… and is already a top-50 OT with the highest ceiling in the class. 46.9 Mauler Meter. Give him two years in an FBS weight room and he’s an All-American. Both are on campus RIGHT NOW. This could be the biggest recruiting/portal weekend of the Rich Rodriguez era. Drop a like if you want both in gold & blue. #WVUFootball #LandonWalker #JonasMuya #Mountaineers #PortalSZN #CountryRoads #Mountaineers #TransferPortal #Big12 #westvirginia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Utah and BYU deserve College Football Playoff spots over Notre Dame and Alabama. Is the committee finally ready to respect Big 12 football?Drake and the Locked On Big 12 Squad break down the latest CFP rankings controversy, with JT Worcestershill defending Utah's dominant 35-point average margin of victory against critics who favor traditional powers. The panel analyzes Texas dropping seven spots after three losses, TCU's Sonny Dykes facing a hot seat, and Kenny Dillingham's future at Arizona State despite calling it his "dream job." Key discussions include whether the Big 12 can land two playoff teams, how conference championship losses will be evaluated, and why SEC teams with identical records get home playoff games while Big 12 champions don't. Jeff Car, Nick Maravettes, Cody Stovall, Parker, and Darian join the heated debate about conference bias and playoff positioning.Tune in for insider analysis on coaching carousel speculation and the Big 12's uphill battle for playoff respect.

The argument that BYU and Utah are undervalued by the College Football Playoff Committee often centers on a deep-seated institutional and brand bias that favors traditional powerhouses. Despite both teams—especially after joining the new P4 conference—amassing solid resumes, the committee’s ranking logic appears inconsistent when compared to peer teams from the SEC or Big Ten. For BYU, the undervaluation is evident even in their best years. When the Cougars were undefeated, they were often ranked below one-loss teams from the perceived “elite” conferences, suggesting a penalty for a lack of "brand credibility" rather than on-field performance. After their first loss, the drop in rankings is often precipitous, falling behind two-loss teams like Texas or Oklahoma, who benefit from the narrative of “quality losses.” This differential treatment suggests the committee rewards the mere potential or reputation of established programs more than the actual, tangible Strength of Record (SOR) earned by BYU. Utah’s case highlights the harsh grading curve applied to Big 12 losses. As a consistently tough, defensive-minded program, their two losses this season came against other highly-ranked Big 12 teams (BYU and Texas Tech). Yet, their ranking near No. 13 keeps them just outside the contention tier, a placement often occupied by two-loss teams from other conferences that have a perceived higher overall floor. The Utes' methodical style, coupled with the committee's tendency to devalue close wins or reward teams for "style points," means Utah is held to a higher standard of dominance to secure an elite ranking. Ultimately, both Utah and BYU are fighting not just opponents on the field, but a long-standing culture that rewards historical brand over current results and strength metrics within a less historically favored conference.

#wvu #big12 #mountaineers On November 18, 2025, four-star offensive lineman Kevin Brown, son of Mountaineer legend Tim Brown, committed to West Virginia live on The Pat McAfee Show. What should’ve been a feel-good legacy moment turned into the most savage public execution of two coaching eras in recent memory. At 17 years old, Kevin casually explained how Dana Holgorsen’s staff once kicked his family out of practice when he was six… and how Neal Brown’s offensive line coach refused to even watch his sophomore highlight tape. Then he put on the Old Gold & Blue, walked outside, and set a couch on fire. This is the story of a grudge 15 years in the making, the ultimate vindication of Rich Rodriguez’s return, and the day a teenager buried a decade of recruiting malpractice, live on national television. #wvu #big12 #mountaineers #collegefootball #pennstate #ohiostate #UNC #VaTech #WesVirginiaFootball #danaholgorsen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#LetsGoMountaineers #HailWVU #RichRodRevenge Kenny Dillingham is the guy who studied Rich Rod like as a High School coach, and he just admitted on tape: "WVU is getting better every single snap." He called Rich Rod an "innovator who stays ahead of the game", said the Mountaineers overachieve because of his passion, and warned ASU: "This is a team that's improving weekly." Translation? Rich Rod’s squad is PHYSICAL, HUNGRY, and COMING FOR BLOOD in Tempe in my opinion boys! Is Dillingham scared? Or just giving props before the beatdown?
