The West Virginia Mountaineers still have a spot in the top 20 of the BCS Standings after Week 9, coming in at No. 19 despite a blowout loss to Kansas State.
Dana Holgersen's squad has seen its stock drop drastically in the past two weeks after climbing into the top 5 of the AP Poll in Week 7. The high-powered offense led by Geno Smith has only mustered 14 points in each of their two losses, first on the road against Texas Tech and this past week in Morgantown against the Wildcats. But they still have a spot in the BCS: although the two human polls used rank the Mountaineers at No. 22, various computer rankings put them as high as No. 13, leaving them at the 19th spot overall.
For what it's worth, Kansas State came in at No. 3 after their 55-14 beatdown of West Virginia. That performance allowed them to pass Oregon, who now sits at No. 4, while Florida held on to their No. 2 ranking. Alabama of course is the top team in the country, with Notre Dame rounding out the undefeated Top 5.
